Hi User826280, you have not been charged for Real-time CME Group Data for February, regarding your interested in Real-time CME Group Futures Data, we must ask do you have a Futures Trading Account?

The CME Group expects you to have a Futures Trading Account in order to qualify as a Non-Professional
[*Note: we know of only the CME Group having this rule, not EUREX, not CFE, not NASDAQ, not NYSE, just the CME Group*]

From the CME Group Certification:
"The Non-Professional Subscriber must:
a. have an active and funded futures trading account;
b. be an individual, natural person or small business entity"

"Not having a Futures Trading Account", this situation comes up all the time now: there are Brokers that will open up small Futures Trading Accounts just to help people with this issue, just to help people with the requirement of having a Futures Trading Account in order to qualify as a Non-Professional. One of (1) AMP Futures, (2) Stage5, or (3) EdgeClear would help you here.
Easy Solution to CME Funded Trading Account Requirement
