Post From: Confirmation about CME Non-Professional Data Eligibility with IBKR

I would like to confirm whether an Interactive Brokers Pro Cash account is sufficient for non-professional verification in Sierra Chart to receive CME Denali data.

I have seen some people say that a Cash account is not sufficient, and that a Margin account is required since it is intended for futures trading, while Cash accounts are mainly for stocks.

In my case, I will not trade through Interactive Brokers. My actual trading will be done through Earn2Trade (Rithmic connection), and IBKR would only be used to maintain non-professional status and fulfill the exchange requirements.

So I would like to confirm if an IBKR Pro Cash account, funded with a small amount, is enough for this purpose.

Thank you.
