I am working with futures using the zen-fire feed. I would like to get access to market internals like $TICK which zen-fire does not provide. Does anyone know of an economical feed just to get market internals?

Thanks!

You can try barchart. They are only $12 in Sierra, don't know about NT though. Supposedly the update every 3 seconds instead of the standard 5-6 which should make for more accurate data.

I just asked by friend he thinks he pays $25 for my track with gives him the $Tick as well.

What did you go for, taotree?

I am soon opening an account myself and I need to decide what setup and broker I should use.

Since I will be trading futures exclusively, I am considering Mirus or Amp, but as you said, Zen does not provide NYSE data.

Like dandxg said, Barchart seems like an affordable alternative. Would this in effect replace Zen as a datafeed or can I use both?

Should I consider using IB?

I am currently also using a demo account from thinkorswim which actually provides all these internals for free, but I don`t know if I can rely on that when I start trading live. Also, I`m not sure how I like their charts and platform

Curious to hear what setups you guys use for trading futures.

Thanks in advance,

John
