* This fee is passed on to the provider of the data feed. Professional futures traders only use providers offering tick-by-tick data. Why? This is an important difference. One single tick in your favour on the Eurostoxx50 future, for example, equals € 10 extra profit. Competitors only provide 1/2 second snapshot quotes which result in inferior order execution.
The futures exchanges supply their real-time quotes to traders at a reduced cost. Patsystems and WH SelfInvest provide these quotes to their clients free of charge. In order to be considered a trader by the exchanges a person is required to execute at least one order every three months. If a client uses his trading platform and does not meet this requirement the exchange will increase the cost of the real-time quotes to us. We will pass this cost, £ 75, on to the client who did not at least execute one order over the last three months. Details
