LMAX datafeed access only

Mr.Gekko said:
HI All,

I have my VPS at Equinix LD4 datacenter (UK) and I was planning to get some fast feed over there, so I though LMAX would be great. I only need the feed. Unfortunately it is not cheap. LMAX support told me that as a retail trader they require 10k minimum on a trading account, some trading activity, and 300 USD/month just for the .NET API. If I do not want a trading account than it would cost me 10K/month just for the top of book feed. A meeting is also required and they want to test if my app works perfectly. So if I understood them correctly they are expecting a fully functioning app even if I only want a top of book feed subscription. So basically I just want to log in, subscribe to the feed, and that is all, no further requests will be sent.

Do you guys know any trading vendors selling LMAX feed only?
Or maybe some cheap introducing brokers for LMAX with a c# API?
Or any better alternatives?

I am trying to keep my costs as low as possible.

Who is your vps provider?
 
I turned out that https://ultrafx.com/ does act as an introducing broker as well with 1K minimum, so I will go ahead and try them out. First I will try to connect SierraCharts to LMAX and test the performace as I already have an app connected to SC. This way I could save a lot of time developing an app. Hopefully this way I won't waste more than 1-2ms which is more than okay for me. BTW SC also uses their VPS for the LMAX connection.
