Please note: according to U.S. exchange market data rules, funded traders may be considered Professional Traders / Professional Subscribers. This means traders may be required to register for professional market data and pay any applicable professional data fees before the funded account is activated.
Non-Professional market data is generally limited to individuals using data solely for personal, non-business use. Funded trading may not qualify as personal use because the trader is using market data as part of a funded/proprietary trading arrangement.
