For many traders using RAPI and IQFeed for instance, it might make no sense changing to RAPI+ (ie. cancel IQFeed) because they would lose in terms of available data and it would raise their monthly costs a lot more. IQFeed costs $90 a month, RAPI+ will charge you, let's say, the $0.25 per side. Now...

faraz

Many others, prefer indeed to use an external data feed such as IQFeed or eSignal because, on one hand, it acts like a backup data in case of one of them fail.
