Very confusing for the public. I wonder who the SEC thinks this will benefit?

comagnum, How do you know that? I'm not saying IB's futures feed is better or worse than anyone else's, but how do you know theirs is "one of the best"? With futures, the "best" is a direct feed at the CME co-lo facility. That would have the lowest latency and not have to be feed through a...

I offered to help, but you will have to provide me contact information directly. You question is way to general and no one here has enough information to help you without knowing more about your situation.
