I’m a non-professional trader and I’m planning to trade Nasdaq (NQ) and S&P 500 (ES) futures, which means I need real-time data from CME. I use several order flow tools such as footprint charts, DOM, volume profile, market profile, VWAP, and cumulative delta. Because of this, I want to choose the correct data feed package. When comparing the available options, I’m unsure whether I should choose Option 1 (39 USD) or the combination of Option 4 and Option 14 (26 USD). If options 4 and 14 together provide the same functionality but at a lower cost, they seem like the better choice. However, I want to make sure there are no limitations before I decide. I also plan to trade Gold futures (either the mini or the micro contract). Gold is traded on COMEX, which is part of the CME Group. I will be using the same tools for gold, including footprint, volume profile, market profile, VWAP, cumulative delta and the DOM. Because of that, I also need to know whether Market Depth is required for COMEX in the same way as for CME. My main questions are: Is it enough to choose Option 4 and Option 14 instead of Option 1, since the combined price is lower (26 USD compared to 39 USD)? If I choose 4 and 14, do they fully support order flow tools such as footprint charts and the DOM, which require Market Depth? Since I trade both CME products (NQ and ES) and COMEX products (Gold), do I need to deactivate CME in order to activate COMEX, or can both exchanges remain active at the same time? Do I need Market Depth for tools such as footprint, volume profile, market profile, VWAP and cumulative delta? I am asking because it has been a long time since I last traded and I want to be sure about what is required. Any advice from traders with experience in CME Group data feeds would be greatly appreciated. |
