Can anyone tell me how much the data feed is for the FTSE future (LIFFE) with Interactive Brokers? Also, what is the approx round turn commission? I just can't get a straight answer from them direct, I have spoken to about 5 different reps each giving me conflicting prices and information. cheers.

Thanks for the link to ActivTrades gedward3, might try them.

Have you had any problems with them?

 

[gedward3]

Not used Activ Trades but heard they are ok.

Seem to have reasonbly low margin requirements.

Amp futures are good and so are same with OEC ™ - Futures and Forex Electronic Trading System

If your trading actual futures contracts rather than just spread betting there you are throwing monry down the drain if you're not trading directly on the exchange. In which case no one can widen the spreads on you other than the other traders and you really can't complain about that.
