Suggested Data Providor

[naifwonder]

With the new version of NT, and the beta now out, I want to make a full transition to NT. At the moment, I am looking for the best data provider possible to do so. I will be needing data for the E-mini S&P 500, which comes from the CME. I will also be needing Level II data from the CME. I tried using OpenTick, however, NT does not support Level II data from OpenTick at the moment. I looked into eSignal as my data provider, but that would cost me around $160 per month with the Level II data. Does anyone have any other suggestions which are more cost effective, yet has good performance?

eSignal is the only provider that offers historical and level II data for futures. IQFeed is coming out with level II for futures in the next month or s.

You can also use the following broker technologies -

Interactive Brokers
Zen-Fire
Trading Technologies

All provide limited amounts of historical data (only IB provides daily bars) and level II for futures.
