My comparison of data feeds for E-mini S&P shows the following:
- DTN - highest tick no., fastest of all, during fast markets 10-15 sec
ahead of BMI cable, very reliable. (TS2k, W2k)
- BMI cable (C-SPAN) - 300-500 ticks/day less than DTN, during
normal markets as fast as DTN, very reliable. (TS4, W98)
- E-Signal - 200-300 ticks/day less than BMI, about as fast as BMI,
quite reliable. (TS2k, W2k)
- Q.com/Dynastore - ~ same ticks/day and speed as E-Signal, crushes
caused by Qfeed led to cancellation (TS4, W2k).

> I run three separate datafeeds into two computers on a cable modem. A
third on a normal dial-up has the CME e-mini "MarketSound" quotes. The only
one that keeps apace with the quotes on the Order Entry Screen is eSignal.
Even the CME e-Mini quotes are a bit slower than eSignal. The other two
feeds are slower than the CME quotes.

"pipe" so to speak. I have also noticed that eSignal does not lock up as
often as QCharts during faster markets, by the way.
