Market Data, Fundamental Analysis and News Subscriptions
Interactive Brokers makes real-time streaming market data available to customers via subscriptions for the exchanges on which they wish to trade. In addition, we provide real-time Reuters Fundamental Analysis and Newsfeeds that are fully integrated into our TWS trading application. To view, add, or delete subscriptions, sign into Account Management. Fees are based on exchange or Reuters assessments and are applied on a per user basis. Subscribing to market data does not necessarily give a customer the ability to trade as they must also elect the proper Trading Permissions in order to receive all the proper regulatory disclosures. There is no requirement to subscribe to market data in order to trade and customers are free to receive market data from another IB account or data vendor.
Many exchanges classify customers as non-professional or professional. Exchange rules require that trusts and organizations (e.g. corporations, partnerships, LLCs and unincorporated businesses) must be classified as professional. NYSE and Amex Professional Market Data require prior approval from the exchange. Click here for more information.
- Market data fees for each month will be charged to your account during the first week of the subsequent month.
- Customers without enough cash to pay market data fees will have positions liquidated to cover the fees. Those customers without enough equity to pay market data fees will have their remaining equity applied to the market data fees, and then the account will be closed.
- Partial month subscriptions will be charged at the full month's rate.
- There is no cap on the quantity of market data lines allocated per customer.
- Market data for Advisors and Brokers is calculated based on aggregate commissions
and equity for all accounts, and all accounts receive the same number of market
data lines.
- Advisors and Brokers without any funds in their master account to cover their market data fees will have their market data turned off until there are funds in the master account to cover market data fees.
- Trading accounts with less than USD 500 (or non-USD equivalent) in equity
will have their market data turned off. In the event market data is turned off, the account equity must be increased to USD 2,000 (or non-USD equivalent) before market data will be re-enabled.
- All customers initially receive 100 concurrent lines of real-time market
data (which can be displayed in TWS or via the API) and always have a minimum
of 100 lines of data. After the first month of trading, the quantity of market
data is allocated using the greater value of:
- USD monthly commissions divided by 8
- USD equity multiplied by 100 divided by $1,000,000 (rounded down to the nearest integer)
- 100
Example 1:
In month two, your account shows the following values:
USD Monthly Commissions: $16
USD Equity: $950,000
Using the calculations above, you would still receive the minimum 100 lines of data, since:
$16/8 = 2
$950,000 x 100 / $1,000,000 = 95
Example 2:
In month three, your account shows the following values:
USD Monthly Commissions: $500
USD Equity: $1,245,000
Using the calculations above, you would receive 124 lines of data, since:
$500/8 = 62.5
$1,245,000 x 100 / $1,000,000 = 124.5, rounded down to 124.
- The number of symbols that can be viewed simultaneously via the TWS deep book windows (including BookTrader, Market Depth and ISW) is now determined as follows: one unique symbol for every 100 allowed lines of market data, with a minimum of three and a maximum of 30. For example, a customer with the default allowance of 100 tickers will be able to simultaneously view three deep book windows. A customer who, based on commissions, equity or other criteria, is allowed 500 tickers will be able to simultaneously view five deep book windows. Note that this number may change month to month if the number of allowed tickers for your account changes.

1Professional versus Non-professional Use
Most exchanges and data vendors classify customers as either non-professional or professional. By default, organizations (e.g. corporations, limited liability companies, etc), partnerships, any account where the data is used for more than personal investment purposes is deemed to be "Professional".
In addition, private persons are generally considered professional if they are registered as a security or investment advisor, or act in a similar capacity. Employment by a financial services business may also require a Professional treatment.
Please click here for more information about non-professional qualification.
