Generally, IQFeed is considered by many traders to be the best data money can buy for under $100 a month. My TT broker feed, for example, is absolute crap for volume accuracy, though it's just great for routing orders. But the only thing that really matters is that we trade well and make money. A good trader with a crappy data feed will do much better than a crappy trader with a good data feed.

At the end of the day I will give you the volume breakdown by price on my end and you can use that to compare with any other feeds and see how they compare so you can have an objective look at what's out there, if you like.

I would really appreciate that. Many thanks.

P.S. Right now my POC is at 1343.25. Near yours?

42.50, but only ahead of 42.25 by a few hundred contracts

edit: oops wait, are we talking RTH? ETH is 42.25 by a few hundred, RTH only is 42.50 by a few hundred... writing this before 42.50 traded at 2:08pm

Exactly.
Most people should never pay for a data feed.
If you can't trade with IB data, you can't trade.
And, btw, I think IB data is good.
Maybe not the very best, but good.

IB is not even close to good, it's probably the worst in fact, just my $0.02 but I've never actually heard someone say IB data was good.

My broker data feed does not include internals like TICK, which I like to have, so I have to use a 3rd party data feed.

EDIT: IB is so bad, in fact, that without having to fudge around it, it will actually not show prints at highs or lows sometimes, because it's only a snapshot, and not tick-by-tick. That's how bad it is.

Well, you heard it here, first.:)
Apparently, you and I trade differently.
One man's trash is another man's treasure, no?
