From my experience different FCMs have different execution times (this is why I stay with RCG despite them having old version of XT)... But I cant completely figure out how TT servers connects to CME for example. I know that FCMs own servers and run TT software on their infrastructure. But how these servers get market data? I dont see TT in CME data vendors so must be FCMs somehow connect on their own... Any ideas?
erm... the question was not what API or code is needed to connect TT server to CME. My question is - what data vendor provides market data for TT servers own by FCMs. Or are you saying there is nobody in the middle and all FCMs connected straight into CME? But I (end-user) receive data from XT - arent those FCMs should be in CME licensed data vendors list then?

excellent thank you! so FCMs buy software from TT, setup servers and host them in TTNET facilities... nice.. Now, how TTNET connects to CME. I understand the only connection available is FAST/FIX. Technically speaking. But from corporative prospective - what legal entity receives CME market data on behalf of all FCMs using TTNET? Thank you again
Looks like some FCMs run TT software on their own servers, while others use TT's TTNet infrastructure. Anyone aware of FCMs/brokers offering platforms other than X_Trader on TT feed AND using TTNet? I know Velocity do, but at the same time they don't deal with international customers
what? are you in Iran or something? anyway where are only few retail brokers who does TT. Call Global Futures and ask specific questions. I had most pleasant experience with them. Also 50c R/T comms are the best on the market.
Other than having more than $250K in your account how do you get $0.50 RT commissions with Global Futures ?
ok. it was 0.50 R/T for 2 yrs at least. I had that comms... you should look faster. I am sure if you call Michelle in person and be a little articulated about your trading you can get it now.
