Subject: DATA: DTN experience
>HI,

>I would like to ask some questions from recent or former DTN (Via

>
>1. What is the best software to connect to DTN real-time or/and end-of-day
>data?
Livewire or ensign. Window on wall street may be a player if they get it
going error free
>2. Is the software they offer worth the monthly subscription fee? (Ensign
>$29.95/month)
I use ensign and feel it provides the TA I want.
>3. In TASC yearly Bonus Issue they ended up behind Dial Data in each
>category I'm interested in. I want to replace Dial Data with DTN. Does
>anybody have idea why DTN placed behind Dial Data?
TASC's results is a popularity contest. Many get tied to Dial Data because
of their charting software.
>4. What is the quality of future contracts data. (Do they have continuous
>contracts?)
I don't do futures
>5. The monthly subscription fee (for equities, futures, options, mutual
>funds, bonds etc.) close or equals for delayed quotes with other providers
>EOD fees ($67). Do I understand the fee structure properly?
I get real time on stocks for I think $112.
>6. If you left DTN, what was the reason?
>7. Any other remark?
I have found the real time service to be fast and reliable. Signal is the
only other RT system I have used, it beats it on all counts. Maybe with
futures, DTN could be an EOD source but it would not be effective for
10,000+ stocks.
>Thanks for your answers.
