| I just found out some more about this.
|
| First, BMI delayed is not available to new customers anymore.
|
| Second, BMI delayed has performed atrociously the past few years,
| because of
| the increasing volume of trades.
|
| Third, only existing BMI delayed customers will be able to get
| real time for
| $59/month. BMI is going to completely stop delayed, and will convert
| existing delayed customers to real time without changing their
| subscription
| rate. They figure that these customers suffered through so much
| for so long
| that they deserve it.
|
| Fourth, because of 1 and 3, if you are not an existing BMI
| delayed customer,
| you cannot get real time for $59/month, since you cannot sign up
| anymore for
| delayed.
|
| This has nothing to do with competition. It has to do with poor
| product (BMI
| delayed), getting rid of it, and trying to compensate existing customers.
|
| There is also a rumor that, because of ever increasing trade volumes, that
| BMI satellite will within a year, just provide futures data. This will be
| great for futures traders. They are having increasing problems with stock
| data.

|
| | Hello fellow Omeganites !! Just got off the phone with BMI
|
| | and was told
|
| | that existing delayed BMI Satellite customer will be offered
| Real Time by
|
| | 4/30 for the same price as delayed now, $59/ mth- no more delayed avail.
|
| | then ( Guess they are feeling the heat from Omega's
|
| | WindowOnWallStreet.com
|
| | !!!!! ). Not really sure if I even want BMI at $59 if it's anything like
|
| | what I am getting now- missing datas and volumes. Are any of you
|
| | experiencing this with RT BMI ? How can I tell if this is caused
|
| | by BMI or I
|
| | just got a slow port ?
|
| | What I would like to know is, does anybody have any idea when
|
| | TRADESTATION.COM might be avail. and how much ?
|
| | Any helpful comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
|
