Hi Dan My apologies for the late reply. I am subscribed to this thread but for some reason wasn't notified of your post. Herewith some comments: 1. Our website is now a bit more streamlined. Please let me know if it helps. 2. We do have a few tutorial videos on the Silverlight application...

Our Data API is now cross-platform, available on Windows, Linux, and OS X. Having used many different API's over the years, I truly believe that ours is by far the quickest (and simplest) to use. You can get up to speed with market-wide streaming feeds (offering quotes & trades for all ~8,000...

As promised, just a quick update to let you know that our public beta will start in the coming weeks. We have uploaded a few videos which demonstrate one of three functional views of our software, the "Market" view, which provides real-time intraday market-breadth indicators such as money flows...

Good to hear. Any problems just let me know.

Sorry about the delay. I did send a private message yesterday - not sure that you received it. Please let me know which operating system and browser you are using, and the error message you are receiving.

First of all, a big thank you to Matt. I appreciate this opportunity to promote our product on one of the best financial forums on the NET. Any questions and criticisms, please let me have it. I'm sitting down ;-) Pete.

We are now accepting user registrations for the public beta. Interested parties can register at our website: FuturePrice or https://secure.futureprice.com

There are currently very few data feeds which can provide all data for all exchanges as well as history in real time. Even feeds which provide only a subset of this are typically very expensive. We consider these feeds to be hugely overpriced and our belief if that a fairly priced product which...

It would appear that the trading community is not overly enthusiastic about a data-only product. Perhaps the market for program traders (the most likely users of a data API) is not as big as we thought. As a result of this we have had to rethink our strategy and this has caused some delays. At...

Your arguments are sound and I do not disagree: 1) For all practical purposes it will be Windows only. 2) On Linux, Mono may not be the best choice of API. But since Windows dominates the market, we have decided to provide a .NET API which also enables us to run on Linux and OS X. The API is...

It is true that Linux has a very small market share relative to Windows on the desktop, but it is different in the server space. And since Mono is rapidly gaining momentum among developers, our thinking was that *if* there are Linux users needing good data via an API, a .NET/Mono API would be a...

I am not in a position to make these decisions. The current situation is as follows: 1. We will provide sample projects which demonstrate use of the API in various languages (source code), but this source will be linked to a DLL for which we cannot provide the source. Also, the data will not be...

I will post a notification to this list as soon as we open the public beta.

It is a web based offering, but in order to receive *all* data you will need a broadband connection (at least 512k). Our ticker plant is capable of it, but we need to decide on what to offer and at what price. Beta testing should tell us a lot but at this stage we are trying to get a preliminary...

As far as I know (please correct me), all commercial data feeds provide a limited number of simultaneous ticking items, e.g. up to 500 or 1000 symbols. In contrast, institutional traders often have access to data feeds which enable real time viewing/processing of tick data for every listed...
