amazed no one is talking about this Sunday's YM move to CME Globex from eCbot?

Quote from osorico:

Hi Steve;

The eCBOT feed will be available for emergency backup purposes only, until mid February, according to the Impact pdf. So yes, all that will be needed ie available, is a CME/Globex feed.

It is up to the data providers to "package" the instruments. I'd bet donuts, YM will be "packaged" in the existing e-mini feed packages available via the various providers.

Osorico :)

I highly doubt they'll do this. For traders that trade both YM & ES, now they have an excuse to get double the money.
 
I was told that to receive real time YM quotes one would still have to pay the $55/mo CBOT fee even though the contract will trade on globex.

Quote from steve0617:

Am I reading this right to mean once the conversion occurs, in order to trade the YM, ES and NQ, one would only require the CME data feed, and not the CBOT data feed at all?

It seems obvious, but I just want to make sure.

Why is this serious AND who cares. Do you really think it will stop trading? lol
 
When I looked at my quote screen this morning I was surprised to see "NO DATA" for YC, YG, YK, etc... On a hunch I checked the eSignal web site and found this message:

----------
Reminder! If you wish to continue following the symbols below you will need to add the full CBOT exchange to your account.

Thank you,

Has the English language changed? Don't I need to be "MINDED" about something before I can be "REMINDED"? I see no effort was made to notify me of this change of service.

I was paying eSignal over $170 a month for the cme and nmyex e-minis. To add YG back I need to throw in the entire CBOT basket -- okay, it will be nice to see the bonds and the ags. The cost for this exceeds my original eSignal subscription fee. Its not just $60 to add the CBOT data, but there's also an eSignal $25 month fee to subscribe to any futures package (other than e-minis).

I am curious, did DTN.IQFeed give more consideration to their customers?

Sorry this isn't more about the YM move, but somewhere between the CMEGROUP and eSignal they really left a lot of their little retail customers in the dark, so to speak.
