Noticed a discounted offer from e-signal for all IB users, which includes all the futures exchanges -- any such deal forthcoming with IB and Realtick?
costly 250+ future depth i get in ib free, but u have to pay 30 bucks to realtick but i like hot trend in realtick.........
i hate to do the 'one thing is worth it', but hottrend from realtick makes me not even consider anyone else.
Does real tick have a feature which measures "trade rate" in real time? QCharts has this and it is very handy. Within a quote sheet I get a list of stocks with the highest trade rate which I can then sort by various columns. I looked at Hotrend but that seems to involve alot more than just straight data.
I agree with some of the previous comments - eSignal is sufficient, no reason (for me) to go to Realtick. Same quality, lower prices, excellent service.
I never thought of realtick as a competitor to IB -- to me they are quite complementary, and I prefer having order entry and data feed segregated. I might be missing something but it doesn't seem like IB has any charting or historical studies capability to speak of.
