What's the CHEAPEST real time data-only futures feed (broker service not needed)?
My data-service provider selection process is becoming painful so I wanted to ask the community here for relief.
The world of DATA SERVICE providers is confounding for someone whose never previously had to contemplate acquiring one. Firstly, one quickly learns how pricey & expensive data gets. Secondly, the providers themselves are a bit opaque in what they offer and how.... most data provider websites are difficult to navigate and trying to upsell/force some other additional unneeded service and generally give impression that they're reluctant to give data-only.
All I want is pure data to plug into the platform I've chosen, that's all. I don't need or want anything else. Specifically, I'm looking for real-time futures for ES (S&P 500 future). Who do you recommend, what are you paying?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
$15 minimum? You mean: there's a $15 minimum on top of whatever data I select (CME, CBOT, etc) or you mean to say someone somewhere offers futures data for flat $15 monthly? Using INVESTOR/RT if it matters.
Your real problem is the "Data-only" requirement. Data-only regularly means paying full data fees.
The $15 CME waiver is tied to regular verifications of a) an active non-pro futures account that
is b) approved for the CME Group Exchange Fee for nonprofessional Trading Accounts.
That verification is done automatically via platform API (minimum requirement: in most cases one
successful validation per month or the account is downgraded to full fees).
P.S.: As "platform API" suggests, you always pay for the platform one way or the other; and the platform
fees are regularly above $15 ...
