    Is it possible to connect directly with CME through your brokers account, bearing in mind that the account is still too small to warrant a CME seat as yet.

    I am interested to know of the possible brokers products that provide the fastest CME connection

    As far as I now, zen-fire connection is the fastest one. I use TT.

  7. Aside from the anecdotal opinion of a few users here (most notably Truff), who KEEPS SAYING that ZenFire is any faster than TT?

    I tried the NinjaTrader trial through Mirusfutures -- to me it seemed like NT and X-trader were getting the indentical, non-filtered, tick by tick data from the CME. I ran them side by side and could see no difference whatsoever.

    The difference, to me, was this: I couldn't stand the NT platform. It was sluggish, and resource-hogful. X-trader may not be elegant, but its lean and rock solid.

    Anyway -- "ZenFire" sounds like its some kind of new data provider, but as far as I can glean, it's just NinjaTrader leasing its own data through CME (or CBOT); they don't have Eurex yet IIRC.

    I am more than willing to be proven wrong about anything I've stated here. I am not the final word, but I wouldn't mind hearing something substantial.
     
  8. Good information all - thanks
