Are you serious? That one costs 75 USD a month!!! :mad:

it's too expensive!!!

Petro · Jul 23, 2012

if $75 is too expensive for a month of data, you need to stop trading. That should be one trade using one contract. TF's are great to trade.

Yeah, $75 is if you don't trade. It's waived if you make one trade a month I believe.

75$ is way too much for 1 contract!!! I can just keep trading ES and save so MUCH MONEY

Since you have an IB account, why not log on to their online customer support chat and ask them directly?

Edit: Actually, the IB rep doesn't say one trade/mth will rebate the $75 fee. I trade the TF and don't get charge the $75. I trade the TF every month.

You need to sign up for ice data exchange. I trade tf every week at ib.

You could maybe enter orders online for free.
