I use FS with ts4. Not sure what software you use, but if you want
their internet product I believe you have to use their software --
the only TS feed they offer is satellite/dedicated line for TS4. Sat
is very slow sometimes in the early stock mkt hours, otherwise I like
it. I would not recommend if you just trade futures due this. But
FS has good FX data. Also you can get most world exchanges delayed
for free. Incl. cash nikkei which most vendors don't include with
their simex feed. Perhaps the best part is their data refresh -- if
you lose something just call them and they email it to you.
Before FS I used esignal for a while -- would not have changed
were it not for FX. One, their FX data is lame-o, and two I found it
very difficult to maintain a dsl connect 24 hours a day, and the
esignal server (6 mo ago anyway) did not like it if you signed on
with a backup connection -- it thought you were trying to sign on a
second time. Otherwise esignal is pretty I good I think. Except as
noted, I found it very reliable.
