You must have the basic service in order to receive the RT futures. The most cost effective way to get futures is to buy an annual DTN.IQ subscription instead of IQFeed. For $45/mo plus exchange fees you get RT equities, options, futures and international futures. Thus, it is a much better deal than a monthly IQFeed subscription. Plus, you can use any of the IQFeed compatible 3rd party products or our own DTN.IQ software interface.

Yes. However, the annual price for DTN.IQ, which technically is 6 months free when you sign up for a year, will only be available for a limited time. We plan to go back to our 3 months free when you sign up for a year sometime soon.
