Post From: LMAX demo

(from ticket text)

Ok, after a little evaluation it is very clear that the data for LMAX demo is very very bad, while your FXCM feed is by far the best I have ever seen for FX, CFD (please do not ever ever get rid of it, the detail in the tick level is phenomenal and my trading method depends on this clarity in tick bars).

So, disregard the questions in previous posts, as I do not want to hassle you.

The question that matter for me is:
1) Can I trade with LMAX and use FXCM data feed? I did some tests and while they have the same symbol, the data is coming from the LMAX demo feed and it is very bad, very few updates and gaps all around, not tradable information. I cannot see how I can change to FXCM feed, as they have the same symbol.
2) Does anything change if I get a live LMAX account? I believe it will have a better data feed, but probably I would still like to use FXCM feed and use a quote symbol to trade with LMAX. But I would need to be able to change between them if, for example, there is a delay in fxcm feed, as it sometimes happens.

Thank you.
