Got this from DTN IQfeed yesterday:

If you look at the Kinetick thread, @MetalTrade was talking about the new $70/mo fee for data for Russell as of January 1 2011.

I talked with Jay from Telvent/DTN and he confirmed it. He also said there is no fee waiver for Russel like there is for CME.

So, that covers IQFeed and Kinetick, but I am wondering about Zen Fire. Has anyone talked to their Zen Fire broker to see what they say, are they eating this cost or what?

Looks like there is a difference in the cash index subscription (RUT via NASDAQ) and the exchange pricing data (TF via ICE), right? Similar to CME ES prices are one thing but cash SPX is actually another vendor/charge.

Here is a forum post from DTN:

Recently the ICE (Intercontinental Exchange) announced product changes that will affect you beginning January 1, 2011.

The real-time ICE Futures Index product will be discontinued as a fee waived, standalone product. In order to continue to receive the information real-time you will need to subscribe to the ICE Futures US package which requires a $70 per month exchange fee from ICE. If you do nothing, the information will default to delayed quotes. If you need the information real-time please call 1.800.397.7000 prior to December 30 2010, to avoid any disruption in your service.

Just a general thought here. This is a really really bad move from ICE. Based on what I've read on the forum, a lot of "smaller" traders liked the TF and these same traders are no way going to pay $70/mo. I mean most of them are getting their platform and data for free, no way would they pay $70 to trade an instrument.

Yes I know there are big players here trading TF too, and to those guys $70 makes no difference. But I can't help but think that ICE has made a pretty big mistake here. I can't recommend TF anymore to smaller/less experienced traders, so I'll have to find a new instrument I guess

Is this some kind of a trend for other instruments ? Clearly they have must analyzed who is trading their TF and they must have decided that they need to do something to get the small guy out of it.

If the small guy is out of the TF, who's money am I going to take then ??

What with other brokers ? Like velocity ?
