Blain, Sorry so long in responding, just way behind on everything. Futures (the underlying) are fine on DTN now (as with any feed bid and ask are meaningless), there was a period from early Feb to about two weeks ago when none of the programs were working correctly with things like the bond. WOWdt's version 8 has fixed that. DTN has a better fix scheduled in the next couple of months. As for Options, I don't think that you will find any data feed that will give you good futures option data. Bid and Ask as with the underlying is meaningless. Plus, only non-combination options trades are reported by any of the services. Thus last price are often meaningless. The key is to get a good option program that gives you good theoritical values and trade accordingly. DTN and WOW as a stock program is good and improving. I post a lot of my findings on the site Windows on WallStreet if you are interested in more on WOWdt. Harold
