I'm looking for a real-time data feed (either feed provider or through brokerage with API) that matches the following criteria:
0) Looking for ES e-mini futures feed.
1) Available via API from a Java application--whether directly through socket or Java API or indirectly through a bridge API (to COM or .Net or...) so long as that bridge is already available.
2) I need every tick
3) I need bid/ask data
4) There must be a reliable way to determine whether a given transaction occurred at the bid or ask. I have seen at least two feeds where the bid/ask are snapshot and transaction data didn't include bid/ask thus it was NOT possible to know this reliably. Is there a feed where this is possible?
5) Cost under $100/month or at least not much more than that. If having an account at that brokerage helps, that's fine. I don't mind opening an account at the brokerage to get the feed (since I'll need a brokerage at some point anyway).
Thanks!
