Post From: What is best trading service with SC real time data feed

I am trying to figure out the best trading service to use with SC real time data feed (for most accurate unfiltered tick data). The trading service data feed in this case doesn't matter (since we wont use it), but what does matter is execution and server supported OCO. Personally, I think its crazy not to have server OCO supported bc what if power or internet goes down? From this criteria I have compiled this list:

1. CTS - Seems pointless as you will have to pay $25 to CTS/month and an extra $1 RT on top of brokers commission.
2. CQG - Seems like a good option. I dont know if there is a monthly fee, but deep discount says $10/month and 20 cents RT. Not sure why the $10 is charged, is that so you can execute through CQG?
3. Open Ecry - Seems like a good option, any objections? Looks like no additional monthly costs.
4. TD Ameritrade - Would not use this, they have a proprietary API to connect to it, who knows how long that will last.
5. Interactive Brokers - Looks like you have to run their software side by side with sierrachart, inconvenient.

From my own deductions I would say CQG/Open Ecry look good, but I lack any experience with them.

Anybody have experience with this and could post about it?
Any order execution issues with a particular service?

Thanks!
