Hey everyone,

was wondering what IB data I have to subscribe to which gives me access to SPI, Kospi, STW, Nikkei, ES, YM, CL, GC, DAX, FTSE. On the IB platform it says US Securities and Futures Value Bundle 1, 2, 3, 4 USD10.00. Does this cover the above markets.

I want to connect the data to NJ so I can use it for simulator purposes.

Also instead of streaming live data Im assuming I can record the price action then replay it while I trade?


Thanks in advance

In regards to your data requirements the market data subscriptions are various. You can chat with an IB Rep via Help, customer service, customer service chat within TWS. All live and rather helpful.
SPI - Kospi is free.
ES-YM-CL-GC Has changed with IB`s new data bundles. Will only cost about 10-15 USD a month. Or free if you trade more than 30USD a month in brokerage.
The rest is a couple bucks a month each.
Hope it helps.
 
Just make sure you maintain a minimum balance of $500 for the free data subscriptions or else they cut off your data feed.
 
Thabjs RADO. Thats funny, I was just thinking I should take out about 95% of my balance and put it in a bank deposut to earn some interest while I develol my trading skills plus the interest could pay for some of the trading fees such as subscriptions.

Thanks for the tip.
