Is there a way to get [intraday] data for the FTSE components and other international symbols?
I am currently getting daily updates through fidelity

If you are a Fidelity customer, then please ask them about their data (we're not Fidelity and we do not provide data.)

You'll probably be able to access intraday data for international symbols shortly, when our IQFeed adapter is released. They have a great deal of overseas symbols, so the FTSE components shouldn't be a problem. However, I would not expect the data depth to be as extended as Fidelity allows (4+ years) -- IQFeed probably has quite less for intl. symbols (from 2007 for stocks and from 2005 for eminis/Forex as they say).
