Anyone trading or using data feed other than Interactive Brokers?

Hi, does it have Level II 5x5 price level?

Once I live chatted with eSignal and they said they only offer level I, just the best bid and offer on each side for HSI.

I don't think it would make a whole lot of difference.... LOL
Just mentally add "1" to each of the 4 levels, it would be about the same 99.99% of the time.

Absolutely not. You just get best inside bid/ask. The main benefit, I feel, is that you have a better chance of getting the 'ticks' than you will with IB, seeing as it is snapshot data. Not everyone cares about this type of thing. I do though.

With kind regards,

Thanks MK. I like ticks and true volume in particular. Have you considered Pats as an alternative?

[MidKnight]

No sir, I never have. Forgive my newbie question, but, what would be the benefit over esignal? I'm not sure charting would accept it....

I haven't used it so I can't tell the speed and reliability. There are lots of bad comments on Pats. But it's a level II option other than IB's data.
