The thing that disturbs me, if I read this all correctly, is that quote.com is not adding the CME promotional quote program, but is instead reviewing that for possible addition later on. This means that instead of 6 months free mini quotes and then $10 per month after that, I have to pony up $60 per month right now. If that is true, I am going to get rid of QC once and for all. That would be absurd. On the other hand, the course I am taking now promises to introduce me to currencies and other markets, so it is likely I am going to pony up for the real time feed anyway. The Mid-Am feed got rolled into the CBOT feed. I used to have a real time Mid-Am feed for a while...cost something like $10 or so....then at the first of last year, whamo....$10 gone and I was subscribed to the CBOT feed. CME used to be $55 I think, then they lowered it to $10. Now they bump it to $60. Crazy. Emini quotes.....$10 a month, that is fine. But QC has to offer that package and the zeros apparently have a bug up their butt. Duh. -Scott

>>new CME policy is the withdrawal of the free real-time Globex data program, including Currency contracts and E-mini products. A CME exchange subscription will be required for any real-time CME data to be received by our users.<< WOW.....! That has the possibility of dramatically changing the trading pattens of the emini. Volume will drop and the whole liquidity patterns will be altered. Probably coming closer to the large contract. I wonder how much of the public trades off the free live feeds from Q.charts or similar programs...? This throws the whole game further into the pockets of the professional traders. I can't imagine q.charts maitaining live feeds for the emini without charging the public something. This could be a dramatic change, Nemer....! Wonder if the various discount brokerages offer realtime emini quotes, if not they'll almost certainly be required to offer that service to keep the small player. Might be a CME mistake....! Chip
