At last, somebody that understands what I'm talking about! Nice to meet you Eagle. You are absolutely right, every time I've tried to communicate my query to the good folk at AMP I just get, after a long and convoluted chat session, "sure, go to the customer portal, select platform set up, select your live trading platform preferences and the data feed you require and just follow the wizard." When I queried the $15/month CME Market Data Bundle the standard reply was "everybody has to pay that to get their account made live." Now don't get me wrong, this is most definitely not a criticism of any of the people that I have been dealing with about this, in fact everybody has been really helpful and I appreciate that because I've found all this quite confusing. But what I can't understand, is why, now that I have set up a live futures trading account with an SC supported services broker, I am unable to access the Full CME Group exchange from SC for $3.25/month without having to pay the broker that hosts my live account $15/month for pretty much the same market bundle. On their site SC say if you have a live futures trading account you get the full CME Group bundle for $3.25 but clearly that's not the case. It seems to me that these guys are not working together on this (or maybe I'm missing something here!). However, there has been some progress. I was in touch with AMP again last night and a guy called Johnny has sorted me out. He told me that I can break up the CME Market Data Bundle and pay $5/month for access to any one of the 4 exchanges that comprise that bundle. As I mostly trade the DJI I don't really need all the other stuff, so I've gone for the CBOT element of the CME bundle for $5/month. He also said that if I use Rithmic I could get a feed for the Dax for free (I'm not quite sure what that means, but I do trade the Dax a lot too and if I can get a feed for that for no extra cost it's got to be good!). It's not as cheap as the SC Full CME and I don't get access to the full range of markets, but it'll give me what I need to start with and when I've made my millions I'll be able to go for the full package. I'm just a small trader, I don't have tens of thousands of $ in my accounts, and I've just started using volume by price so I need a good quality data feed to get the best information and I need that data to be as cheap as possible and that is what this has been all about. Thanks for listening. Cheers |
