Hi, Trying to figure out what is the right package for me (I have package 10 at the moment). My mentor uses footprint and volume profile and my main objective right now is to backtest and build out my playbook using these to generate my thesis. I assume I should switch to package 5 since I don't need live data, yet. But eventually when I do want to go to live data, I assume I should get package 11. Once I do get package 11 which data feed should I choose? I mainly focus on ES and NQ. Thanks! |

If you do not need real-time data, then you can be on one of the "Base" packages. And since you state you need footprint (Numbers Bars), you do need to be on the "Base Advanced" package. When you want real-time data, then you will need to be on one of the "Integrated" packages. The equivalent to the "Base Advanced" that allows for connectivity to data and trading services is the "Integrated Advanced" package. You can view the information for the packages at the following link: Description of Service Packages and Pricing We can not tell you what data you will need, as it depends on what symbols you need data for and whether you need Market Depth data or not.
