Re: Forex data feed not exactly compare to online broker.

I have futuresource now, and used to have esignal. FS is better. My
experience is that all fx is slow compared to ebrokers. It is the nature of
the way it works with multiple contributors, etc. FX has tons of bad ticks
too. 2000i with charting bid or ask stinks for fx, as the bid ask spread
varies considerably for different contributors...that alone will make you
chart look different than one that is done they typical way...bid ask
midpoint. If you have specific questions, feel free to ask. Chris
