SHARE REAL-TIME DATA WITH PAPER ACCOUNT
Real-time quotes are offered on a monthly fee-based subscription basis, and in order to pay for those subscriptions you must have a live, funded trading account. If you subscribe to data through your live trading account, those same subscriptions will be made available through your paper trading account.
If you have a free demo version of the paper trading account you will receive delayed quotes, where available.
Use the button above or follow the below procedure to share your live trading account's real-time market data with your paper account:
- Log into your Live Trading Account's Client Portal
- Select the User menu (head and shoulders icon in the top right corner) followed by Settings
- Under Account Settings find the Account Configuration section
- Click Paper Trading Account
- Select Yes on the Share real-time market data with your paper trading account?
- Select the username whose market data you want to be shared and click Save
- Once the steps have been completed, you will need to log in to the paper trading account again.
Please Note
- The changes will be activated in 24 working hours.
- If you log in to both accounts at the same time from different devices, the real-time data will only be available on the live trading account.
- To see real-time quotes on both your paper and live trading accounts at the same time from different devices, create a second username for your live trading account, subscribe to real-time market data quotes with it and then share its market data subscriptions with your paper trading account.
