$1.05 per side? Wow, that is nearly 100% of the tick value - good business for CME I guess, but not the trader. It is like paying $10.50 per side for ES. I know it is not E2T's fault but it is not a good proposition on the exchange side

The breakdown is:
- $0.20 CME
- $0.02 NFA
- $0.25 Rithmic
- $0.58 Broker

If you're trading volume, the broker commission can drop significantly.

I also wanted some clarification on the data fee:
I already have live market data on another account in my platform.

In Gauntlet it is not an issue but later I want to use the same platform, connecting to my live account with Helios via Rithmic, to trade this account. Is that possible without paying the $105/exchange fee? Will I see my orders on the DOM in my platform, or in RTrader Pro? How will I know if they got executed?

Depends on your platform - If they allow you to use two different connections. One for data and one for orders. You'll see all orders in RTrader of course, but if you don't have Rithmic data on the Helios account then you won't see realtime PNL in RTrader.

What about the Autoliquidate Threshold and Acc balance? When will they be updated if not real-time?

Threshold will - balance won't until you close the position. Balance can't because CME views real-time PNL as a derivitive of market data.

Please explain this further, are you saying: If you have another data feed, say a retail feed where you are paying non-pro fees, then the pro feeds can be avoided?

Thanks.

Pro fees cannot be avoided. If you're pro anywhere, you're pro everywhere.

With that said, you can only pay ONE pro fee, not necessarily for your Helios account, and that is perfectly legal - is that correct?

If both feeds are Rithmic - yes
