Which data subscriptions are most useful?

[realtrades]

Thank you! So CBOE's 4 exchanges' quotes under the basic US Securities Snapshot and Futures Value Bundle are not real-time streaming? Curious what else are not RT streaming in that bundle.

On this page they ask:
How often would you like to see real-time quotes?

Occasionally or Routinely, and they have subs listed under each option:

Hi, Elite Traders.

I'm currently a IB Pro user. I have the following monthly data subscribed:
NASDAQ Global Index Data Service $3.5/mo
US Equity and Options Add-On Streaming Bundle $4.5/mo
US Securities Snapshot and Futures Value Bundle $10/mo

Are these the most useful subscriptions? Do I miss anything else? Thank you!

I don't have any real time data and is a pain to trade options via snapshots, specially spreads. The most basic bundle for me (IB Pro) is $125/Month

any workaround for this? I think this is the price for international accounts, sadly.

Do you have access to think or swim where you are? They have free quotes.
