This is my first post, and I certainly don't want to sound like a commercial. Someone tell me if this is not acceptable and I will comply.

I work for the MD Vedor, ACTIV Financial. http://www.activfinancial.com/index.htm

We are leading the charge within the Hardware accelleration space using FPGA. Our clients love the solutions we provide, especially our easy to use APIs.

Interactive Broker proposes a simple API to record your own market data

I was able to interface to Interactive Brokers data feed through they supplied TWS platform. Their limitation is that they provide the last trade/quote about once every 250 ms, which is speedy enough for visual updates but not necessarily complete enough for algorithmic trading.

Iqfeed [1] is what I use for full realtime quote/trade feeds. I have coded a C++ library around their tcp/ip port feed API. They cater to Windows users only. They also have a realtime news feed.

Did you interface with their TWS platform in Java or C++? Do they provide real-time market data feed for their internal trades?

Hello, I know the company professionally, doing some work for them on ad hoc basis. When I saw the post I thought I'd mention them as what they offer through hardware tech massively accelerates market data/ultra low latency, and matches the request on here. Feel free to drop me a line here with feedback/thoughts if you want. Thanks.
