I agree that it is a stiff fee for the information presented. But this is no different from some of the other exchanges. Perhaps not the NYSE or AMEX, but the future exchanges charges are a bit pricey, particularly when added together just to get real-time info to monitor for trading only in one specific market. This can amount to over $100 per month. But the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has wised up to this being a financial barrier for the more popular issues traded by the public. So they have lowered their fees for real-time data. Perhaps there is something here for the NASDAQ to consider. Perhaps if the CME proves their decision to be a profitable one, other exchanges will do the same, including NASDAQ. An important question is how can we go about changing this? Isn't their a coalition of traders that act as a special interest group for traders? Perhaps this group may be worth contacting. Bob Graham
