i can tell you the times its throttled. i write them down. its either massive quote stuffing or the bandwidth for the slow feed is full so unless you pay for dma 15k a month then you are screwed.
why do the exchanges exist? "for the benefit of it's members" a question on the series 3 futures test. i never forgot this question and the answer.. ----------- i know to this day they delay / throttle the retail feed and even being a member it's takes connections to get connected lol...
The challenge with posting a news release straight up from one party involved in litigation is that it will almost certainly provide a singular dimension to an issue, and this case is no exception. I'm not choosing sides with CME or EDI, but just trying to provide some balanced perspective. If you google "CME Group Schedule 5 Fees", you will find a .pdf link to numerous fee schedules by CME down through the years for mass redistribution by data vendors, and the annual license fee at present (April, 2020) for each CME group (that is, CBoT, CME, Nymex, Comex) is $24k for Real Time, $18K for Delayed, and Zero (no charge) for End-of-Day. In 2017, those fees for mass redistribution by data vendors were $12K for Real Time, $12K for Delayed, and Zero for End-of-Day. In 2014, those fees were the same as 2017. So, at least my understanding of the Group 5 fee schedule is that EDI pays a flat $120K fee per year (the new fee schedule they're suing over) and they get to distribute all that data to all their paid members. If they get 10,000 new paid subscribers they pay the same flat rate to CME. I'm not at all sure how EDI gets "exponentially higher" as they state in their hyperbolic press release.
Just seems like a butt rape of $120K per data vendor to me. And also "give us all your clients' details".
Another possible take is that EDI has been charging its customers for End-of-Day data that it has been getting for free from CME.
