Technology: We are not a browser based system. We are utilizing a software connection which is actively monitored on the server end. Our advantage: We are able to move users from one server to another flawlessly. Their disadvantage: If you have ever been on the internet during a federal reserve board statement, you must have experienced the HTTP error 404, the pages slow to fill or not filling at all.
Speed: We are using a push protocol rather than broadcast. Our advantage: We are only sending you the data you are requesting - even if you request hundreds of quotes with a single click. Their disadvantage: Broadcast feeds send all data from A through Z, causing bottleneck during heavy trading activity.
Direct from the Source: Our advantage: we are using the same data feed direct from the exchanges that is used by hundreds of traders on the floor of the NYSE. Their disadvantage: Some vendors get their data feeds from a third-party vendor, what happens if that connection has problems? And for the other vendors who get the data from the exchanges like we do - ask them how many units they have on the floor of the exchange: their answer is bound to be
zero.
