Re: GEN - DTN sat feed

["Howard Hopkins" <hehohop@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I daytrade the SP futures.

I ran DTN Satellite side by side against internet feeds through eSignal and 
MyTrack and a BMI cable feed.  Here's how they ranked for undating the SP 
futures:  Esignal, MyTrack, DTN, BMI

I'm not sure of the "quality and quantity" of tics coming through.  Because 
MyTrack is only $107 a month (no one year contract  with real time CME, 
NYSE, NASD, AMEX) its allows me to get Squawkbox, which occassionally goes 
down but otherwise gives the "true" picture of where the market is 
(bid/ask).

Hope this helps.

Howard
