I'm currently using IB with ZeroLine front end. Very nice setup. However, the datafeed is just so-so. Is it worth the hassle to switch to NT with Continuum for the better datafeed? (Trading YM)

As Big Mike mentioned, IB is filtered and as always he clearly explains about the subject.

I'm using CONTINUUM for more than a year, I never had any problems. Of course are important trader's location, broker's servers, etc.

CONTINUUM (a White Label of CQG) is having a decent Historical Data:
120 days Tick data;
2 years of Minute data;
+10 years of EOD.
Success
