What is MDS (Market Data Subscription) and do I need to set it up?
Updated
Market Data Subscription (MDS) provides real-time market prices to your trading platform. GFF covers the cost of market data; you do not pay any additional data fees.
The market data included for free depends on your data feed:
- Tradovate (CQG): the full CME bundle is included (Top of the Book - L1)
- DxFeed: CME exchange only. If you'd like to add COMEX (for metals) or other exchanges, contact our support team and we will enable it for you manually.
- TradeSea: the full CME bundle is included (Top of the Book - L1)
Without an active MDS, your charts may be delayed or certain instruments may not load. If your platform asks you to activate an MDS, select the required exchanges and proceed. If you are being asked to pay for market data that should be included, contact our support team.
