I take it that DTN has 2 separate data feed that you use ... stocks and 
delayed futures...

A couple of thoughts:

1. Assuming you can connect to both data feeds at the same time, you can run 
a second AB installation and have both systems active. Obviously if you can 
not access them at the same time ... this will not work.

2. You could switch data providers ... I use iqfeed and delayed futures come 
on same package. eSignal is also a good feed, but a bit pricier.

If you are doing EOD work, you might want the iqfeed with delayed futures. 
If real time, then by all means forget delayed data and pay for the real 
time feed.
