Well, just testing the waters still, will actually start using the real cash on Wed AM. Your summation on fees is correct. Right now I pay about 115.00 for CSW real time (which includes ASE, VSE also,dont know why I have them I never traded them) . This does not include LII for NASDAQ. I have done a comparison on the fastest moving stocks on the TSE between the two feeds. With out doubt the PC Quote system was consistently ahead on the MD. min of 4-9 seconds. Now if the execution is anything close to what they say it will pay for difference of my spread that I pay for CSW. I will be keeping the CSW for the TSE as a back up redundant feed, you never know, will eliminate the royalties for the ASE and the VSE. However I do find that the MD for CSW is much easier to read and follow with the fading and numbers are much better, and although their news is still lagging sometimes so far is better from what I can tell for Canadian stocks from PCQuote,(in PC defense still haven't fully looked into all the features) LII for pc quote is much harder to follow , you really cant take your eyes off of the windows. Obviously the charting capabilities are far in advance that of CSW, (the task now is how to get them set up, Not so easy for my little pea brain). I think the best feature that I can see is the ability to be able to short much quicker. The fact that the data lags less, and you can short without phoning in should really improve profitability. Keep you all posted Best Regards WB
