Hi,
I'm in the same position. Looking for a GOOD futures data source but I need CME / CBOT / EUREX (only a few offer EUREX)
This is the reply I got from MyTrack.
Dear Customer,
myTrack offers many advantages over other market data providers and on-line brokerages.
Technology: We are Not a browser based system. We are utilizing a software connection which is actively monitored on the server end. Our Advantage point- We are able to move users from one server to another flawlessly. Their Disadvantage point- If you have ever been on the internet during a federal reserve board statement, you must have experienced the HTTP error 404, the pages slow to fill or not filling at all.
Speed: We are using a push protocol rather than broadcast. Our Advantage
point- We are only sending you the data you are requesting, be it 20 quotes or 200. Their Disadvantage point- Broadcast feeds send all data from A through Z, causing bottleneck during heavy trading activity.
Direct from the Source: We are one of the many divisions of Track Data Corporation. Track Data's primary division is an institutional data solution provider which supplies quote units to large brokerage houses as well as the exchange floors. Our Advantage point- we are using the same data feed direct from the exchanges that is used by hundreds of traders on the floor of the NYSE. Their Disadvantage points- Some vendors get their data feeds from a third-party vendor, what happens if that connection has problems? Also, ask our competitors them how many units they have on the floor of the exchange- answer is bound to be 0.
Ease of Use: It's all as simple as Right mouse clicking. Plus just press F1 for the on-line help guide.
Customer Support: No more waiting on hold. We have Chat room support- on-line hosts are available to answer your questions from 8am through 9pm EST. Email is answered 7 days a week.
Product Development: Our members have a say in the enhancements to the product line. All suggestions are on the website and voted on.
Pricing for the Quote System: Real-time pricing starts at $19.98 per month plus exchange fees- we can not be beat.
