IQFeed data vs other data providers

Quote from syswizard:

It's been almost a year since the above occurred.
What is the concensus opinion now for IQFeed, especially regarding emini futures data reliability ?
I use them and they work very well for me, but I also have a seperate data stream provided directly from my brokerage so I can compare the two.

I can only remember 1 outage in the last year. Eminis very fast and reliable imho.
 
Learner2007,

Since this thread is really about IQ's feed I won't go much deeper about Esignal - your comment, however, will make me research my setup a bit more.
 
Well, I am a little red-faced now, but oh well, I would like to set the record straight .... and the issue is, that I was using Ni225 m8-osm rather than the ni225_m m8-osm

Live and learn I guess. All looks good now.



Quote from Beebers:

I don't have any options it seems. I am in Asia as well, and use Neoticker.

Of all the datafeeds I have looked at, only Esignal seems to have the data I am looking for. (None of the US datafeeds carry the Osaka exchange unless one is willing to pay big, big bucks) I, however, always have to crosscheck with IB as their data is pretty off at times. Many times this morning, for example, it would tell that there was a 2 tick spread on the Nikkei225 mini of the Osaka exchange. It also lagged IB's numbers by a few seconds.

I was wondering if there are alternatives I could use for data, maybe someone knows some Asian company or European one which doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
