Hello, I am wondering if I can get live data by connecting my Charles Schwab account. Is that a valid brokerage for live data? If so, how would I connect it properly? Thank you!

We do not have support for Charles Schwab. We have support for Interactive Brokers, or brokers that support CQG, Rithmic, or our own Teton for order routing.

An alternative is the solution outlined at the following link:

Okay. Please describe to me, not give a link, of one way that I can get live data without paying for it. Name one brokerage I can create an account for and not have to pay.

There is a way were I can just buy live data right? That means I won't need to create accounts and fund another brokerage or anything like that? How much does it cost?

To do this, you would have to pay for the Professional exchanges. Refer to the pricing for the CME Group exchanges at the following link:
Denali Exchange Data Feed: Supported Exchanges (Exchange Fees)

Overall, it is much cheaper to lock up the $100.00 with Stage 5 (or another supported broker) and get the non-professional data.

We do want to point out that the requirement to have a live, funded, futures trading account and having to verify it monthly is a CME Group requirement. We are just following their rules.
