Lightspeed

  1. Just looking for some reviews of Lightspeed as a place to trade. Also how is the Lightspeed software platform?

    I was told you need to subscribe to their futures data ($70 something a month) in order to get e-mini quotes? Is that true? I only trade stocks but like to watch a chart of the "spoos."

    Thanks,

    Normally Lightspeed requires you to pay for the future quotes if you do not have a futures account with Lightspeed.
     
  3. Thank you for the reply. Also what are you guys paying for NYSE openbook through Lightspeed? I was told it's $60 but Assent was charging me $18 as they said the nyse lowered the openbook fee for non pro users.

    This link seems to indicate a monthly fee of $15 for non pro openbook users:

  4. What Lightspeed are most traders using? SSL or VPN? I'm running a demo version of it right now on SSL and it seems solid. Just wondering what everyone else is running? I've been running Anvil over a VPN for years...

    Thanks,
