quote com and DBC feed is expensive because it is streaming real time quotes directly from exchanges. Reuters is working on getting a real time streaming feed but is mainly indirect quotes like many brokers. It is tough to explain but is like a shade of gray thing. If you ever had dbc feed going at the same time as the "real time" quotes from your broker, you would see a disparity that isn't usually too big a deal except in a fast moving market. That is why there is the huge difference in price between the true real time feed and the end of day services. To those that sent me PMs I am working on them but I received a large number tonight and am buried so far. Lee
