I have been trying this out for a couple of days now. I think that even the
woman's voice is recorded (she doesn't seem to ever get tired or lose that
"spark" in her voice as the other "humans" on my other squawk service do).
As an index futures trader, what it does give me is this:
1.) An audible data feed comparison on a tick by tick basis. Another
doesn't hurt.
2.) Trade size. My S&P Comstock feed doesn't tell me the size of the trade.
(Both of these could easily be accomplished by other means, I will readily
admit.)
I'm not sold on this service, but for now it's working in parallel with my
other squawk box service. Yeah....a bit noisy...but hey, it gets lonely
trading at home...
