Except maybe trading! Where knowing what you should do and actually doing it often are a metric mile apart!!

Before this order type was available your broker would simulate a market order by placing a limit order well inside the market. Market order with protection is essentially a limit order (with a wide limit).

Market with Protection
Market orders at CME Group are
implemented using a “Market with
Protection” approach. Unlike a
conventional Market order, where
customers are at risk of having their
orders flled at extreme prices, Market
with Protection orders are flled within a
predefned range of prices (the protected
range). The protected range is typically the
current best bid or ofer, plus or minus
50 percent of the product’s No Bust Range.
If the entire order cannot be flled within
the protected range, the unflled quantity
remains on the book as a Limit order at
the limit of the protected range.

Sounds like an ordinary limit order placed at the "protective range" to me. Maybe they just had to give it a fancy name to make those traders happy that "need" market orders but don't know they can accomplish the same thing with a limit order.

I do think that CQG probably has exceptional feed too....

You say that CQG is an exceptional feed, but have you been able to verify it also, the way you did with IQFeed?

AOL would be easier to cancel!
Beware of Telvent DTN's shady billing & cancellation practices! If you must deal with this company, be aware that they will use petty fine print trickery in attempt to extend your contract beyond the agreed upon period and squeeze every possible cent of revenue out you. You will become an asset to be exploited to the fullest possible extent of the law (and beyond). You contract isn't over until THEY say it's over. If you don't like it, they'll even threaten your credit score. Is this really the kind of company you want to do business with?

Can you elaborate upon your experience with this feed/company?

I had issues with them in the past (a long time ago now) that sound pretty similar. Not with fine print trickery simply billing after the contract had been cancelled (and confirmed as cancelled). Then they tried to sue me for the 'outstanding' amount. Funny and mildly irritating at the same time. That is one reason I am reticent about using them again.

Just use a credit card. If they charge you after you've cancelled then your bank will just refund it. Try that with PayPal...I love credit cards.
