Quantopian staff,
IEX is currently offering its near real-time data at zero charge. Plus the data redistribution terms are extremely attractive:

Could IEX real-time data be incorporated into paper trading in Quantopian?

Thanks for the question.

As I'm sure you know, paper trading on Quanotpian is on a 15-minute delay. We use Nanex's NxCore feed to make that happen.

The IEX data feed looks like a good fit for people using zipline or zipline-live.

We don't have any plans to move IEX's data into Quantopian. There isn't a compelling need for us to make paper trading closer to real time.
