First, I should state that I built a Java program that uses HTTP Components to keep in sync with server time for my broker.

Once 7:29:59 comes around the program begins sending requests to the bureau of labor statistics v2 API so that when the data for non farm payrolls gets published I can immediately hedge and adjust my portfolio before to significant of a move in the market occurs.

However last Friday it took over twenty minutes of return no value before the data was finally updated and my orders where filled.

I wanted to know if there are any alternative sources I can receive immediate data from?

@FreepromTech how much are you willing to pay? – chollida Dec 07 '15 at 15:49
I was expecting it would be free since it's published by a government agency – FX_NINJA Dec 07 '15 at 18:15
