I just heard today and if you use an API, that the fees for NYSE data is going to go up an ASS load my broker told me it'd be around $5000 / month w/ the NYSE open book. It's not for sure but he said it'd more than likely go through and around $1800 / month for just NYSE data has anyone else heard this?
Holy shit!!!!!!!!! Why? Do you have some kind of link? This doesn't make sense. Why would the NYSE even contemplate doing some thing like this? I doubt regulators would let the NYSE get away with. If you have more info please post.
lol @ you guys. if this is true (which I highly doubt it is), you think this will stop blackboxes? it'll only stop the small guys who aren't making more than what the fee costs. just a drop in the ocean oh ya, and i heard nyse is trying to decrease volume too..... .
This makes no sense. You really think they would cut out a huge revenue stream like that? The majority of the black box trades are done by a small percentage of extremely high volume traders who can easily afford this. So they would end up cutting out the 95% of the other guys who are numbersed in the thousands, all paying fee's to NYSE trying to trade. The end result would be a huge drop in data profits, with almost no reduction in trade volume. If they were stupid enough to try this, it would get quickly reversed. If anything, they should lower all their fee's and get even more trader-wannabe's firing orders all over the place, and sit back and collect the risk free money,
