Thanks for the info. When I first contacted Mirus they said I ( or we
-meaning AB) would have to develop chart trading before getting their API,
and then they would have to test it out. 

I have tried keeping TJ up to date on all of this. I have pleaded with TJ to
take this on but was turned down.  I will contact 7Ticks and E-cry and keep
the forum posted. How about "ABZenfire"?

Thanks for posting those links.

Transact is slower than Zenfire. I saw a video comparing those 2 data
feeds. During slow trading, it is hard to see any difference but when
activity picks up, the Transact fed chart looks like it is moving in
slow motion compared to the Zenfire fed chart. Also, Transact does
some data bundling and Zenfire does not.

Another high speed data feed HF traders like is from openecry
(www.openecry.com). They have an open API and Neoticker & Sierra
charts support their data feed.

The value of these high speed data feeds accrues mostly to short term
traders who take many trades per day.
