Mark:

Well, soon you will be able to receive stocks as well as comm. over CQG and
it will be programmable.  It is programmable right now, however you have to
give them your system or indicator and they will program it for you.  It has
just about every feature that you could ever want, and I do mean every, for
trading options and futures.  It's amazing the features they have added in
just the last year.  The only objection that I have is that it costs so damn
much.  It's okay to charge those prices for the instututions, but for us
small guys its a bit over the top.  I've had many conversations with them
about lowering their prices to the small investor, but with little success.
I think they would get a larger share of the data feed business if they
would consider this.
