We provide real-time streaming market data for the prices listed in the sections below. You can also choose to receive free delayed market data for financial instruments for which you do not currently hold market data subscriptions.

Professional versus Non-Professional
Most exchanges and data vendors classify clients as either non-professional or professional. By default, organizations such as corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships and any account where the data is used for more than personal investment purposes is deemed to be professional. In addition, private persons may be considered professional if they are registered as a security or investment advisor, or act in a similar capacity. A trader who is employed by a financial services business may also be considered a professional. Click here for more information about non-professional qualifications.
Subscriptions toBMC 's FX markets are free and automatically enabled when you are approved for Global FOREX trading permissions.

Notes:

- Market data for Advisors and Brokers is calculated based on aggregate commissions and equity for all accounts, and all accounts receive the same number of market data lines.
- Advisors and Brokers without any funds in their master account to cover their market data fees will have their market data turned off until there are funds in the master account to cover market data fees.
- Trading accounts with less than USD 500 (or non-USD equivalent) in equity will have their market data turned off. In the event market data is turned off, the account equity must be increased to USD 2,000 (or non-USD equivalent) before market data will be re-enabled.
Market Data Display
How Market Data is Allocated
In order to receive real-time market data, customers must be a subscriber to market data. All clients initially receive 100 concurrent lines of real-time market data (which can be displayed in TWS or via the API) and always have a minimum of 100 lines of data. After the first month of trading, the quantity of market data is allocated using the greater value of:
- USD monthly commissions divided by 8
-
USD equity multiplied by
100
divided by
$1,000,000
(rounded down to the nearest integer) - 100
-
Example 1:
In month two, your account shows the following values: USD Monthly Commissions: $16 , USD Equity: $950,000
Using the calculations above, you would still receive the minimum 100 lines of data, since: $16/8 = 2
$950,000 x 100 / $1,000,000 = 95 -
Example 2:
In month three, your account shows the following values: USD Monthly Commissions: $500 , USD Equity: $1,245,000
Using the calculations above, you would receive 124 lines of data, since: $500/8 = 62.5
$1,245,000 x 100 / $1,000,000 = 124.5 , rounded down to 124.
The number of symbols that can be viewed simultaneously via the TWS deep book windows (including BookTrader, Market Depth and ISW) is determined as follows: one unique symbol for every 100 allowed lines of market data, with a minimum of three and a maximum of 60. For example, a client with the default allowance of 100 tickers will be able to simultaneously view three deep book windows. A client who, based on commissions, equity or other criteria, is allowed 500 tickers will be able to simultaneously view five deep book windows. Note that this number may change month to month if the number of allowed tickers for your account changes.
Snapshot
A Snapshot subscription allows users the ability to request a singular instance, non-streaming quote of market data for an individual stock. Snapshot quotes do not update and do not refresh on their own. They are an alternative to streaming quotes as users are charged on a per request basis as opposed to a monthly flat fee. Charges for Snapshot requests are typically USD 0.01 and are capped when the dollar value of requests for a certain Network reaches the dollar value of the respective Network streaming service.
Sample Snapshot Caps:
Listed Network Feed | Price per Snapshot Quote | Subscriber Status | Capped Snapshot | Streaming Service Activated |

AMEX (Network B/CTA) | USD 0.01 | Non-Pro | 150 | AMEX (Network B/CTA) (NP,L1) |

Disclosures
- *FREE TRIAL—— Receive free for a 30 day period from date of subscription. The free trial subscription will terminate once the 30 day period is over. Once the trial data has terminated, the account may elect to re-subscribe to continue receiving the data. Should the trial data terminate mid-month and the election is made to re-subscribe, a full month charge will be levied as the exchanges do not prorate fees. For example, an account subscribing to a service subject to a free trial on October 15 will receive data for free until November 14. Should the account wish to continue receiving data past the 14th, the account must log into Account Management and re-subscribe once the data has terminated. The re-subscription will result in a full month charge for November. This data will then continue until the account unsubscribes from the service.
