What is the Realtime Data Feed Do You Use ?

Traderguide organization told us that we can use VSA method for forex and commondities market. So we need realtime data feed source and it must have good tick volume data, right?

I contact with Esignal and they told me that the total price for Stock, forex and commondities is 257 $ per month. It is so expensive so I set up this topic to make a survey:
1. What is the realtime data feed do you use ? (for using VSA method)
2. How about the price of your realtime data feed

When I contact with Esignal, they told me that they have two kind of commondities data: that are E-mini contract and full contract. For the trading gold from usully broker like fxcm, fxpro.. could you please give me advice that which type of data I should charge?

Re: What is the Realtime Data Feed Do You Use ?

i use IQ Feed. Its much better value than e-signal. I found e-Signal very unreliable with bad lags. I dont know what I pay for it - I think it's around $150, may be less. If you trade stocks it will be cheaper.

I trade futures and IQ feed keeps up with X Trader to the tick.

I have had 1 or 2 issues with IQ feed with some bad prints, but after 5-6 years of reliable feed i'd still recommend it.

I use eSignal for index futures and US equities and have not had any issues so far. I used eSignal in the past for FX and had no worries at all.

I am currently using Brocompany.com. The real time data (charts) is free for all markets: Forex, Futures, stocks & Indices. It can be used for VSA (I am planning on buying Nigel Hawkes' VSA software package). Their demo accounts include all this as well!
