This article explains where streaming quotes are located, and how to customize and manage them. This also covers the scrolling Ticker Tape.
 

Streaming quotes (which include the ticker tape you see moving continuously across your screen) are the stock quotes and exchange data (such as last price, trade time, bid/ask, volume, and absolute/relative change) that update automatically while the markets are open.

Streaming quotes are free to all Yahoo! users, but you might experience some delays. If you prefer to have real time continuous streaming quotes with no delay, you can sign up for our premium service, known as Yahoo! Real-Time Quotes (which includes MarketTracker).

Streaming quotes are available on the following pages:

• Yahoo! Finance front page
• Quote summary page as well as all associated pages
• Multiquote page
• Portfolio page
• Market times information
• All international data streams (whenever those markets are open)

Streaming quotes are normally on, but you can turn them off or on again at any time. Simply click ON next to "streaming quotes" to turn them off (the word ON changes to OFF). Conversely, If you wish to turn them on, then click OFF .

You can also turn streaming quotes (scrolling) on or off from the streaming quotes settings box. To display it, just click the Settings menu to the right of the ticker tape to display it. Within the box you can also change the speed at which they move and which quotes you want displayed.

Note: Quotes stop streaming if you have not clicked or entered data within a Yahoo! Finance window for 25 minutes. Just click within any finance page to restart streaming.
