Great setup:
DTN data feed
J-trader interface (simple, reliable)
direct connection with clearing firm
MF Global, RJO, etc.
When I was getting my streaming futures quotes through my (IB) broker, XPressTrade or what is now OptionsXPress there would be times when quotes are down.
The only way to have no downtime is to pay more, in my opinion.
Looks like CL-Z8 wants to try on $55 for size...
