From reading around I know that my "set up is good" but I still think I'm paying to much. I'm wondering if anyone else has this same setup and pays less. Or has had this setup, switched it and had the same fills, and executions. Because I hae to say one thing about this setup, I get great fills. I get what I see on my screen. Anyways any help is appreciated.

Hey, just wondering why you aren't using CQG feed via AMP? I've been with them for several years and it's purely based on pricing. I demo'd CQG vs ZEN initially and didn't find any discrepancies. I don't trade CL but I believe it's around 4.75 RT for energies under 2500 RT. Customer service can be weak at times but that's not exactly a secret. However I'm low maintenance so it really doesn't impact me.

Well I was going to use CQG. I actually had it all setup to do so. The very first time I logged onto it, I couldn't get on. This was just last week on Monday, when I setup my live account. I had to shut it down four times, before my charts would load. So it could of been just a little bug, that gets worked out. But it didn't matter. My mind was already all messed up, and I couldn't trade "live" knowing that might be a problem! So I asked my broker to switch to ZenFire, which he did.

I have used both and for me CQG is the way to go.
