Does IB not charge any platform fees?

What real-time data are you referring to?

 

US stock data was free if you traded but they now charge I think.

I use:

NYSE - $1.50
AMEX - $1.50
NASDAQ - $1.50
OPRA - $1.50 (refunded to me, so my cost $0)
Snapshot and Futures Bundle - ($10, refunded to me, so my cost is $0)
IDEALPRO - Free
Some other one for quotes on corporate bonds - Free

Total cost: $4.50/month, which gets me top of book futures, streaming equities and equity options, forex, and corporate debt. As long as I spend at least $30/mo in commissions (which I always do.)

 

Indeed. This changed a couple of years ago. Now you have to pay for NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ individually.

 

Some time ago, I have the same deal as @Ryan81. The fees are much higher if you're trading as a professional.

 

Or www.MotiveWave.com

 

Here's a list of platforms they connect to: https://gdcdyn.interactivebrokers.com/Universal/servlet/MarketPlace.MarketPlaceServlet , if you click the Find Services button, then Trader/Investor, then under Technology, choose Software Vendors. (it's pretty buried.)
You can use MotiveWave with IB.

 

Thanks man. Did not see that at all. Will be checking out motivewave tonight.
