Eurex Quotes & Data (ESignal, IQFeed, IRD/Realtick...)

Quote from Nana Trader:

I can't belive IB is faster than Esignal? I could not compare
because i do't have account with IB , and did not trade Eurex.

Isn't Esignal suppose to be as fast as IB, because Esignal is
in data feed business, and IB isn't.

2 Second is too long especialy for scalpers. What are the
faster feeds than esignal for Europe market, beside IB
that is already mentioned?

Iy you can't believe it, check it yourself.

Hi,

got the IB feed running on the same screen as my Reuters feed - the updates of prices, bid size, ask size, etc. are simultaneous and happen exactly at the same time. I don't have esignal but Bloomberg should also provide the same quality.

BTW, the updates happen a lot faster than two seconds, my first guess would be below a second.

That does not bode well for the Reuters feed: I have CQG and IB running side by side: I have seen 11-tick spikes in the Bund which were shown by CQG but not by IB. And I have had trades filled at prices which did not show in either of the two feeds (usually not that far out).

The IB-feed is definetely a snapshot (about 0.7 seconds), T&S by CQG is a 2-second snapshot. Though the latter has improved in the last weeks: the last price is shown always a tick faster than by IB. Several month back, it used to be the other way round.

Guys, as per what everyone is saying Esignal or IB
are Snapshot with 1 to 2 seconds delayed.

I were comparing Future exchange fees that esignal and
IB charges their customers are much lower than what
Futuresource.com charges. Does their cheaper price can
indicate that feeds are lagged.

Check platinum International Package and click on
International exchanges, As an example you will see:

Eurex:23$
Euronext: 20$
HongKong Future exhcange:73$ (IB for free and ESignal 4$)
Most Exchange fees are much higher priced.
 
Quote from lesprit:

I have found www.comstock-interactivedata.com, Future Source, and CQG to have very good Eurex feeds. As for Comstock, they used to be known as Standard and Poors Comstock, but they were bought out by Interactive Data. The feed, I ascertain, has not been been adversely affected.

As for a choice between these otherwise superb feeds, I have found CQG's fixed-income feed and charting to be superior since it has cash data as well. In tandem with its quality, it is more expensive than the other two. Comstock suffers from mediocre charting despite their use of Realtick (lots of uncorrected bad ticks) and Future Source has no cash fixed income data (i.e. the EGB's).

Lastly, I have used Cantordata.com, which is excellent as well (although I never tried charting with it).

Good Luck

I could not find their monthly price and foregin exchange fee?
Are you saying that comsyock feed lagges Futuresource?
Can you please provide me with the link on pricing? Thanks
 
Eurex only diseminates its trade data every two seconds. That is just how they provide there price data. It is to conserve bandwidth. I use CQG and Bloomberg all the quotes update at the same time.

I looked into the issue awhile ago and talked to people at CQG and Trading Technologies. I was told by both that is by the decision of Eurex that price update every two seconds and there is nothing any independent data vendor can do. If Eurex doesn't want to diseminate prices quicker there is no way around that.

Thanks for Valueable info. Since you are into
Future brokarage business, Which is better
Future feed charting alternative for Esignal for
my personal use considering not to be very
pricy. Also that cover major Asian future markets.

Please skip IB, they will not open account for me
because of my citizenship, so i am not able to use
their feed.

I have used all of these- Comstock, FutureSource, and CQG.
To answer your question regarding cost, Comstock is $225/mo. plus exchange fees. (As an aside, they'll try to charge for an international (i.e. non-U.S.)connection fee. But if you negotiate reasonably well enough, they will waive it). It's Realtick charting suffers, however, from constant uncorrected bad ticks. As for speed, I found all three to be roughly equivalent.

But if I were solely trading Eurex and nothing else, I'd choose CQG for its fixed income specialty. Comstock is good for broad worldwide equities/futures, and Future Source is self-explanatory.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck
