I use FXCM's data for most of my trading and am completely satisfied with it. Previously I had real-time Morningstar and its coverage was fantastic, but it does not provide bid/ask data, so I do not subscribe to it anymore. Although I still use their snapshot data for long-term positions on smaller or exotic pairs. I also have the LMAX data feed that can serve as a backup and also has data for a couple of symbols that are not in the FXCM offering (EURHKD, etc) but I need bid/ask data for. IB's FX data works very well as well, although it is limited in comparison to FXCM. I use that mostly in the TWS platform. I can not comment on servers (ping, etc), never touched/cared about those settings, because I always use trading servers that have quite fast overall connection (and worked well for me both for FX and Futures trading. There is a full-length recorded webinar on Level 2 of my site where I talk about these options and their configs in full detail: https://www.ticinotrader.ch/configuring-and-using-fx-datafeeds-in-sierrachart/ Another Level2 video that could be of help for FX trader SC users: https://www.ticinotrader.ch/how-to-optimize-sierrachart-for-forex-trading/ Hope this helps.
