As far as I know S&P Comstock is using hyperfeed just like realtick. The datafeed for RealTick is pretty good.

Effective August 15, 2001, CME will only offer free live quote service through Market Research Inc.(MRI). Townsend and Emerald will no longer be available through CME's Web site.

well, there are several threads about this. I don't think starting a new one will help very much. The 'best' is really subjective idea, so we all have different opinions. I would recommend to try several of them with their free trial. There is no other way to know from your location and your...

3]closeout/exit all position function (useful for when you get partials and don't have time to key in amt) the 'cancel page' is nice but it only cancels active orders. the feature request is also to send orders which would bring the portfolio to flat [sending sells for longs, buys for short...

redart, I can confirm you don't have to pay anything. several providers offer eminis for free just like indices S&P500, Dow Jones etc.. that's the case for Nextrend. Other symbols [including other futures of course] are delayed or not available.

the release notes are always available here : http://www.interactivebrokers.com/html/User_Manual/Release_Notes/Notes_Index.htm [thanks def for pushing for this]

vielen Dank für Sie Hilfe EnterLong. Nexttrend is a very good idea. another advantage of futures, forget about costly data providers. I downloaded and try/compared it to esignal. It is pretty good. Lagging a bit [in fast market] because not showing all ticks right away. But really fair...

I use eSignal/Ensign at the moment.

there are realtime and I use the service as backup. it is pretty reliable although sometimes connection is lost during the day [that's rare though]. in fact you can get realtime nasdaq stocks too [if you register] for free. if you can trade with the limited charting capabilities...

Oh yeah ! They can be tough in low volume situations because they have much more money than I do. On the other hand, trading is trading. When you know how to do it for stocks you can do it for futures. Not all styles work of course. I don't think you can scalp [maybe it can be done, I dont...

true. I remember when I started at my firm. I was only interested in stocks, and the others were looking at me with a strange smile. [we do stocks for clients and futures for revenues]. Now, I changed side and will not leave index futures. In another thread someone did point out the...

AMEX:QQQ AMEX:SPY

it depends on your data provider.. the symbol is the symbol for the e-mini : NQ with the month symbol and year [all these have different representation depending on your data vendor].

IB market depth I just noticed [read the doc stupid!] that you can select a limit price from the market depth window. That's cool. But I see the default size for the order is whatever is present at this price level ! 2 suggestions : - the order default should come from the preference...

there is a 'level II' but you won't get it from the regular charting software. IB does show you the book. http://www.enthios.com/trading/market_depth.htm

this is great and what we wanted to know precisely. thanks for the great post Mike Neo

ktm, if you keep opened positions overnight you have to be very careful with futures. As far as stops are concerned, only stop limits will execute after hours for protection reasons. I think there are other restrictions from IB, but I don't know for sure because I don't hold overnight. neo

OK. now I call upon Def for some help. Would you direct us to the service at IB taking care of FIX interface ? For now I only want to know what type of wan connection is required. Is a 2MB ADSL acceptable ? does it have to be ISDN or T1 ? Is it through internet or through a dial up to IB, or...
