Colin,
Sorry so slow in responding to this, but I am way behind in this list.
Have you tried OptionSimulator? See info below my name.
I have been testing the new Quote.com version for the last several weeks,
and it really is slick and
very fast. There are only a few things that I can not do with the QFeed
data that I can do with my DTN satellite feed. Works simultaneously with
QCharts so can run both programs at the same time. Download 30 day trial at
www.bayoptions.com

Version 3.3.0 of Option Simulator / RT is now compatible with the QFeed data
stream from quote.com. The addition of this data source makes professional
quality option data available to users of Option Simulator / RT.
The QFeed option data stream is clean, fast and reliable. Strike prices are
fully decoded. There are no limits on the number of symbols you can follow
at any one time.
Subscribers to the QFeed data feed automatically have access to QCharts,
which is one of the slickest real-time charting programs. With QCharts you
have instant access to any chart on any asset in any time frame. The
combination of QCharts and Option Simulator / RT give every trader a
professional quality, real/time, option trading platform.
At the moment, option data is only available for stocks and indexes; futures
option data is not available.

|I've had a few replies to my earlier question: "Is there anyone who has
|beta'd OptionStation and/or has written EL functions to do "things"?"
|However, they've been directed at the current version of OptionStation,
|which I agree isn't worth too much (to be kind).
|My interest is in OptionStation 2000, which I understand is to be released
|very soon. I've evaluated a number of options software applications, and so
|far the best all round offering is OptionVue 5 Pro. It has some amazing
|features, although falls short in the "accounting" area and can't do
|backtesting.
|Mike Burke [Mike.Burke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] is Omega's product manager for
|OptionStation, and he assures me their product is worth waiting for. He
|responded that it does all that OptionVue can do, and more! Of course
having
|used Omega's products for many years, one has to discount the sunshine that
|emanates from Florida, even on overcast days. Still, I hope it is a "good"
|product. Heaven knows they try.
|At a brief demo at FIA in Chicago last October, Mike did show EL code
|"driving" functions for OptionStation. There isn't another package that can
|do anything like that, excluding of course some very terse formulae that
can
|be entered into some options packages. I would like to exchange information
|with anyone who has bet'd the new OptionStation, as I have some specific
|development questions and I'm hopefully looking for impartial comments.
|Regards,
