Post From: No price available for listed BMF exchange

Letting you know the reason for all of this trouble regarding the BMF exchange is the fact that there are different prices for Brazil residents and nonresidents and the fact that Barchart does not have programmatic implementation of the exchange fee for Brazil residents.

This is so much trouble, that we have removed the exchange for residents because it is not practical for us to be supporting.



Now you could be critical of Barchart about this, but the problem is they do not want to invest the effort in this when there are so few Brazil users of that exchange. But the underlying problem is really with the exchange policy. We have never seen any such policy like this anywhere in the world and it simply makes no sense.

General commentary:

Exchange policies and especially this one are detrimental for so many different reasons and have all kinds of far-reaching side effects.

It is quite absurd exchanges around the world charge exchange fees for real-time data when it is the traders themselves which create that data, this data should be public knowledge to begin with, and then they try to sell it back to traders for a fee. This is ridiculous in an of itself.
