Frequently Asked Questions
Which futures prop firms include data fees?
TopStep and Apex Trader Funding include CME market data in their subscription/challenge fees. No separate exchange data subscription required. This is a significant cost saving for futures traders.
How much do market data fees add to prop firm costs?
CME real-time data typically costs $85-130/month for nonprofessional users. Firms that include data effectively save traders this monthly cost. Factor this in when comparing challenge fees between firms that include vs exclude data.
