Why is it preposterous that I am against real-time quotes, while perfectly legitimate that you are against colocation?

I do not even have real-time quotes enabled on my E*Trade account, because they cost extra, and thus I am not in favor of anyone else receiving real-time quotes, either. Or L2 quotes. Heaven forbid.

Knock-knock! Who's there? To. To who? To whom.

My Youtube posts were metal, dude.

If I have a live account with FXCM UK, will I need to disable hedging on my account as a prerequisite to using Strategy Trader, or can I simply use Strategy Trader without hedging?
