Hi,
Does anyone know of any alternatives to the M3 data server?
I had emailed one fellow who had developed a feed driver for
DTN, but he wanted about $60K for it.
I was looking for something which works with DTN or one of
the other major broadcast feeds, and has a well-documented
API/method for accessing the tick data. Basically a piece
of software which acts as a feed driver, and possibly
archives the data.
A replacement for M3 and its SDK.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
