I am currently with IB, but would like to get market data from another source. I have looked into DTN IQ, which would be my dream data provider, however, they are way too expensive for my initial purposes (I calculated roughly $150/mo for a single CBOT feed with LEVEL 2 depth of 10 levels on each side).
I have inquired with CQG, but they only provide data through a broker (IB doesn't qualify).
I can't seem to get any information from Rithmic as to how to sign up with them independent of a broker, other than through Bookman marketplace (. However, I don't need/want Bookmap.
The only other option I have found is to register for the Rithmic demo: and hope that it leads to a paid full account later...
I have considered doing SierraChart + Denali, but I have heard that the ticks don't quite match up with unfiltered data from CQG/Rithmic/DTN/etc. If someone who trades off DOM can comment on this, it would be a big help.
