My data vendor replied to me as follows: ********************************************************************************************** Firstly, it is nice to virtually meet you, I look after the Market Data Product. Secondly, I’ve read the below email chain regarding your requirements...

Thank you 2rosy !

Thanks for the suggestions. I would like to receive the real time positions. For example, if "Barclays Capital" buys 100 ES the report is updated immediately. The services you have indicated are not real time.
