Re: EBS Datafeed Question

Aight James, sorry with the slow reply man, been busy as a one legged man in an arse-kicking contest.

Spoke to rep from ICAP (EBS) - data is price changes only.

You can get the actual volume, but you need to be trading through them. Not really a viable option.

In my opinion, the better setup is CQG & Reuters 3000 Xtra.

I spoke to my "trainer" from Reuters on setting up a few things - they really do have sweet features.

Do you still use Reuters?

For trading FX, my setup now is:

- screens for CQG
- screen for Trading Technologies (i.e. your order execution ladders)
- screen for Reuters:
--> Reuters screen for your fundamentals/news & spot/forward/etc pairs. Real-time & historical volume, T&S with counter-parties, etc.
