1.Go with -like you say- other ,,IB like'' firms.They have even more markets then IB but... they want a lot more money.I
mean really much more ( as requirements not fees).
2.Go with local firm.Use only brokerage to execute orders and get data from US provider.Data for BM&F is on sierra chart
so its not so hard to get - but it is not cheap.
When I say API I was saying about my local brokerage here.Its just a plugin for Amibroker which take's real time data right from WSE exchange.For IB I was using IB API - TWS + IQBroker - its also work very well.Im not a programmer so Im looking for simplest possible way and I cant help you too much in this area.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Thank you for your kind words and the mention. I try my best to be helpful when I can!
As for your question, and I hope you I am getting it right: Are you seeking the TS data feed as an independent data?
As far as I know, their data is available for the most part just on their own platform.
You may go through this futures data feeds in order to see which data feed could be connected to which software.
Please let me know if this addresses your question.
Thank you,

Thanks for responding @mattz.
I have TradeStation now. But since I work all day till about 1700 (Pacific Time), I'm looking for a liquid instrument to trade in the afternoon. The Nikkei and Kospi seems like good candidates, but it seems like TS doesn't provide data for them. So I'm looking for a way to get data for those instruments while keeping Tradestation as a platform. The only indicator I use is VWAP (Tick and VIX when trading ES). Let me know what you think. Thanks again for your help.
Yes, it is. We would be more than happy to assist you with an account if necessary.
Thank you,

I will talk to the TS rep we have, however, just keep in mind that if a certain FCM does not offer a certain product is because they experience no demand for it or the cost of clearing via an party that has membership on that exchange maybe to high. My suggestion is either to find a product that your broker does trade, or switch.
Maybe you should try a contract like Mini DAX?
Thanks,
