I'm not a forex trader, so dunno how this compares to what else is available, but sounds like it might be good...

Delivery

It looks interesting, the price certainly does, doesn't seem to be any details on how the data is delivered, is it a .cvs download e.t.c? or an app with dde?

I've not used this site before so I really have no clue.

Fail to see how it will deliver 'full market depth'. That information isn't available anywhere at present afaik. Unless it's something contributed by the voice brokers, but that would hardly be 'full' depth. Interesting though. Thanks

It is possible to use the GTIS feed to display the quotes of all the different banks in a similar way that NASDAQ displays all the regional exchanges and ECNs in the montage. This will look like a level 2 screen and can be used to gauge how many banks are supporting the current price.

It'll be part of their normal streaming live prices, as far as I know. If you want to have a look at this (for existing price feeds), sign up for a free account and select Monitor - you can add shares, indexes and derivatives to the monitor screen to see how it works.

Fair warning though - on a free account, the amount of time allocated before you have to refresh the monitor is very limited - 15-60 seconds normally; various subscription levels are available to gain unlimited views of the streaming data
