"For anyone considering using DTN.IQ for a data feed, my experience with the quality of data and the tech support has been very positive." - Comment from Public Forum

"I have to tell you though that using the IQFeed API is about the easiest and cleanest I have seen for some time." - Comment from Jim

"DTN feed was the only feed that consistently matched Bloomberg feed for BID/ASK data verification work these past years......DTN feed is a must for my supply & demand based trading using Cumulative Delta" - Comment from Public Forum Post

"Very impressed with the quality of your feed - ******* is a real donkey in comparison." - Comment from A.C. via Email

"I just wanted to tell you what a fine job you have been doing. While *******, from what I hear, has been down and out, off and on, IQ feed has held like a champ this week." - Comment from Shirin

"I have been using IQFeed now for a few years in MultiCharts and I have zero complaints. Very, very rare to have any data hiccups or anything at all go wrong." - Comment from Public Forum

"I ran your IQFeed DDE vs. my broker vs. a level II window for some slow-moving options. I would see the level II quote change, then your feed update instantaneously. My broker's DDE, however, would take as much as 30 seconds to update. I am not chasing milliseconds, but half a minute is unacceptable." - Comment from Rob

"Version 4.0.0.2 has been working well for me and I appreciate that it is now a much tighter client to work with. I feel I can go to press with my own application and rely on a stable platform" - Comment from David in IA.

"IQ feed is brilliant. The support is mind-bending. What service!" - Comment from Public Forum Post

"I cannot believe what a difference it makes trading with ProphetX!" - Comment from Bruce in Los Angeles

See the following links for the products I am referencing: http://www.cme.com/trading/prd/fx/eurofxovreopt12163.html http://www.cme.com/trading/prd/fx/japyenovreopt12164.html I know that you broadcast the American style options (both pit and globex), but the European style options have been available for a few months. Thanks.

borg -Interested User- Posts: 21 Joined: Jan 26, 2005	Posted: Jul 15, 2005 11:26 AM Msg. 5 of 16 O.K.. Here is another question which is similar to the fx options question. Next month the CME will add Eurodollar options to the Globex platform. See the following link: http://www.cme.com/trading/get/sup/glxnews2825.html#OptionsEnhancements So will DTN broadcast this data when it becomes available? I know that you added the ES, NQ, and ER2 Globex options when they started trading this year.

borg -Interested User- Posts: 21 Joined: Jan 26, 2005	Posted: Jul 20, 2005 11:22 AM Msg. 7 of 16 Why you are not answering the question? If you are not going to broadcast the futures option data on ED, that's fine. I will have to make other arrangements to get the data. But I am assuming that you are not arbitrarily making decisions about which contracts to list. So what is your criteria? marketdataservices? Jay?

DTN_MarketData -DTN's Market Data Experts- Posts: 786 Joined: Jul 15, 2004	Posted: Jul 20, 2005 02:32 PM Msg. 9 of 16 Borg, I've just heard back from our development teams and it appears that substantial development is needed before this option data would be available. I apologize for giving you incorrect information before but development will not be done before mid Aug.
borg -Interested User- Posts: 21 Joined: Jan 26, 2005	Posted: Jul 21, 2005 12:42 PM Msg. 10 of 16 I really appreciate your getting back to me. So I guess the next logical question is how long will it take your development team to write handlers to broadcast the data? I know that there will probably be a beta period after development to make sure there are no problems. So can you give a ETA for alpha/beta testing and a ETA for production environment? Thanks.

borg -Interested User- Posts: 21 Joined: Jan 26, 2005	Posted: Aug 4, 2005 09:33 AM Msg. 13 of 16 From the CME web site: Are You Ready for CME Eurodollar Options on CME Globex? The Enhanced Options System for CME Eurodollars will launch on the CME Globex platform on Sunday, August 14, 2005, creating broader access and round the clock liquidity for CME Eurodollar options. To date, the Enhanced Options System has only been available to a limited number of users through the CME-provided Enhanced Options System platform. Beginning August 14, 2005, this unique functionality will be integrated into the CME Globex platform, providing CME Eurodollar options traders with the following key features and benefits: Integration with major ISVs and proprietary front ends Compatibility with standard CME APIs Global distribution of real-time market data Increased liquidity commitments from major market makers Real-time indicative prices on thousands of complex strategies Tradeable quotes for at the money straddles, puts, and calls With the August 14 launch of the CME Enhanced Options System on the CME Globex platform, the following changes will take effect: The Enhanced Options System functionality, including indicative quotes and RFQs, will be available 23 hours a day on the CME Globex platform Some ISVs will not yet fully support CME Eurodollar options trading - CME Globex Trader™ terminals will no longer support CME Eurodollar options trading You will still be able to trade CME Eurodollar options via existing Enhanced Options System front ends CME Eurodollar options market data will be distributed via a new CME market data connection. Any definitive information on when DTN will be ready to support the eurodollar option feed? Thanks.
