Market Data Fees



Subscription Billing

Market data and research subscription fees are assessed beginning on the day of subscription and the first business day of each subsequent month for as long as the services are active. Subscription fees are assessed based on the number of users subscribed to the service on an account. If multiple users are subscribed, there will be multiple charges assessed to the account. There will be additional charges for Snapshot data requests (see below). In relation to the fees quoted for Market Data, Capstoneretains 5% - 10% of these fees to cover administrative and other costs related to the provision of these data services. The remainder of the fee is paid to the vendor.

Snapshot Data and Delayed Data

By default, users will receive free delayed market data for available exchanges. If needed, users can subscribe to real-time streaming market data for the prices listed in the tables below. Once a subscription is active, the delayed market data will be replaced with the real-time quotes. In addition, clients who do not need streaming real-time quotes will have the ability to request snapshot data from multiple exchanges worldwide. This request will provide a static quote for the instrument. U.S. listed equities are USD 0.01 per quote request and all other instruments are USD 0.03 per quote request. As a courtesy, accounts will receive a waiver of USD 1.00 per month for snapshot quotes. Learn more.

Commission Waivers for Market Data

Select market data services are eligible for commission-related waivers. Waiver-enabled services are identified in Client Portal and/or listed below.
Services are waived once the commission threshold is met for each service. Calculations for waivers are not cumulative and are applied first to the highest priced service.
For example, if you subscribe to waiver-enabled services with the following thresholds:

Subscription Fee Commissions Waiver
US Securities Snapshot and Futures Value Bundle USD 10.00 USD 30.00
OPRA Top of Book (L1) (US Option Exchanges) USD 1.50 USD 20.00

Professional versus Non-Professional

Most exchanges and data vendors classify clients as either non-professional or professional. By default, organizations such as corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships and any account where the data is used for more than personal investment purposes is deemed to be professional. In addition, private persons may be considered professional if they are registered as a security or investment advisor, or act in a similar capacity. A trader who is employed by a financial services business may also be considered a professional. Click here for more information about non-professional qualifications.

Market Data Display




How Market Data is Allocated

In order to receive real-time market data, customers must be a subscriber to market data. All clients 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.

Deep Data Allotment

The number of symbols that can be viewed simultaneously via the TWS deep book windows (including BookTrader, Market Depth and ISW) is determined as follows: one unique symbol for every 100 allowed lines of market data, with a minimum of three and a maximum of 60. For example, a client with the default allowance of 100 lines of data will be able to simultaneously view deep data for three different symbols. Note that multiple deep book windows for the same symbol can be opened without impacting market data limits. Continuing this example, this client could open the symbol Capstonein BookTrader, Market Depth and ISW and still be able to view deep data for two more symbols. A client who, based on commissions, equity or other criteria, is allowed 500 tickers will be able to simultaneously view deep data for five unique symbols. Note that this number may change month to month if the number of allowed tickers for your account changes.


Snapshot

The Snapshot capability allows users to request a singular instance, non-streaming quote of market data for an individual stock. Snapshot quotes do not update and do not refresh on their own. They are an alternative to streaming quotes as users are charged on a per request basis as opposed to a monthly flat fee. U.S. listed equities are USD 0.01 per request and all other instruments are USD 0.03 per request. Clients will be eligible for capping when their snapshot requests equal the price of the streaming quote service.
