Bookmap forum

Looks like Bookmap recommends dxfeed for equities and Rithmic for futures, however I see that dxfeed also offers CME futures data as well and the only difference I see is that Rithmic offers Market by order data which I don't need. As far as depth and reliability are they comparable? Can any one answer please.

Thank you,

Hi!
Another difference is that you 'll be able to trade with Rithmic on Bookmap, and with DxFeed CME it is not available.
Also, DxFeed doesn't allow using strategies and indicators.
Please find more details here:

The market data for both dxfeed and rithmic are the same accuracy, as far as the order heat map?

dxFeed and Rithmic are both providers of market data for CME futures: https://www.cmegroup.com/ and both support the full market depth.
However, dxFeed offers historical market data and Rithmic focuses on low latency and high throughput trade execution software.
Also, Rithmic supports the Market by Order data, that provides the ability to detect individual queue position and order size(used for the Iceberg addons), view the full depth of book .
