Hi Pradeep,
Why not just write a q script that opens a connection to the tickerplant and then over write .z.ts timer function to asynchronously send updates to the tickerplant every n milliseconds? Inside .z.ts, just create some random sample data to send.

Hi Pradeep,
Then I would suggest you combine Felix’s idea with mine.
Download csv files from finance.yahoo.com and read them into your q process.
Then inside .z.ts, send out chunks of this table to the Tickerplant every n milliseconds.
