Thanks for your reply. For my question regarding FX & CFDs, I have researched FXCM data quality online, and have seen that the data feed comes with certain fallbacks. For example there is no DOM available. In addition, the following quote from your documentation worries me: "For every price change, the volume is incremented by 1. Therefore, it is not a true measure of actual trading volume. It only provides an indicative measure." To add on, a competitor of Sierra Charts, MotiveWave, states in their documentation that the data feed coming from FXCM is not reliable for advanced volume analysis such as bid/ask or delta. If I were to indicate that I would like to get as close as possible to an accurate data steam, would you recommend LMAX or are you still sure that your suggested data feed will also do fine? I'm sorry if my questions are basic knowledge to you, but I would really like to be sure that I obtain reliable information here.
