Hi, can you tell me if I need to have a separate data feed when trading S&P 500 index and FX please, I'm currently using service pack 5 at $36 per month, I'm not trading futures at this stage.

Thanks for your help

What S&P 500 Index are you referring to? The most popular is the ES Futures from the CME Group, but you state that you are not trading futures. Is this a CFD? Or something else?

Do I need a data feed then so service pack 12 will be required?

So no live data is supplied on service pack 5?

Sorry I’m still confused - when I read the link you referee to it’s says- ‘Live Trading Services: No. For Forex and CFD trading use the LMAX Trading Service service.’

Does that mean that pack 5 doesn’t support live trading services - I just need to know what pack to select so I’m not overpaying please?

No Service Package 5 does not support live trading unless you are using Teton order routing and would be using delayed data. Who is your broker you will be trading through?
