I’m in Canada and IB is my broker. I primarily trade US energy futures on Nymex and would like to keep IB as my broker but use dxFeed for data. What’s the cost of the dxFeed data added on?
Also, I trade using IB TWS on a Mac. Are there differences between Bookmap for Mac vs Bookmap for PC? If so, could I run Bookmap on my PC with the dxFeed and IB as my broker, while concurrently running TWS and IB provided data for other instruments and trades on my Mac?
Here is the pricing link for dxFeed: https://bookmap.com/dxfeed/
BookMap does have a Mac version. It is different than a PC.
You would have to use the same login credentials. Regardless of the feed that you use, so long as the account credentials are the same both would be connected to your Broker.
Why not use Rithmic for data and execution? That way you do not need an external feed.
Yes, you will need to open a USA based account as Rithmic is not offered via Canadian FCMs as far as I know.
Thank you,
Matt Z

Yes Matt is right Rithmic would be the best data-source (because it is the only one with the entire order-book and would show all important levels), but you can also connect with your IB data-source (which isn't the best) as well.
Thanks for the dxFeed link. I had already seen it, however, was planning to get Bookmap using their promo price for annual subscription and save a considerable amount compared to paying monthly. The dxFeed data selection form only has the single month purchase option for Bookmap. I'm assuming it's only an additional $29/month for Nymex.
I'm hoping what you're saying about login credentials is correct, but have run into difficulties with IB before when attempting to connect to TWS while also connected elsewhere. As soon as I logged onto the other platform, IB immediately disconnected me from real-time data in TWS. I can check with IB about this, but figured since Bookmap is promoting its use with IB as a broker, they would know the answer.
Yes, but if you use 2 data feeds, then you are just lading up your systems and slowing your execution.

Would be glad to give you a demo for Rithmic and help you out.
