Hello, I'm using www.fsxtra.com feed (Futuresource) since oct 2001 ; works fine for me, fits with IB quotes (let say 0.5-1 sec lag 99 % of time, occasionally worse on US statistics). Had esignal a couple of months end 2001. More functions than fsXtra, more expensive (x2) ; most important...

www.fstra.com works fine Eurex, matif futures. HTH, JM
