I like Bookmap, but having to juggle with multiple providers is getitng out of hand.
I was looking at MotiveWave and then it popped up that EdgeProX is a white label of MotiveWave. Anyone trade with them? I technically trade in tasty and TOS. They say that data feed with Rithmic or CQC needs a funded account, but with who? Motive has Schwab listed as data feed, but not as broker.
Can someone clear that up for me?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
you've got the right read -- EdgeProX is EdgeClear's branded version of MotiveWave, built on their codebase. Same engine, different wrapper, $34.99/month with footprint charts and advanced DOM included.
On the "funded account" language -- this just means a regular live brokerage account with a broker that has a Rithmic or CQG connection. It's not a prop firm challenge. Rithmic and CQG are institutional-grade feeds that route through brokers rather than selling direct to retail traders. So for EdgeProX, that broker is EdgeClear. For standalone MotiveWave, brokers like AMP Futures, @NT Brokerage, or Stage 5 Trading all carry Rithmic access.
The Schwab confusion makes sense. Schwab (former TDA) appears in MotiveWave as a data feed for equities and ETFs -- but as of early 2026, futures execution through MotiveWave via Schwab isn't supported. That's why it shows as a data source but not as a broker for futures.
Your situation with tasty + TOS: The hard part is that tasty uses a proprietary platform and doesn't expose a third-party API, so you can't connect MotiveWave or EdgeProX to it for order routing. Your practical paths:
Open a small supplemental futures account at a Rithmic broker (AMP, EdgeClear, @NT Brokerage) just for charting/data -- keep trading at tasty
@NT Brokerage includes NinjaTrader with footprint charts free on a live account -- since you're already on NinjaTrader, that could eliminate one provider entirely
If consolidating around Bookmap, their Global plan with BookmapData bundles it into one provider, though it runs higher cost-wise
The broker-as-data-gateway model is genuinely non-obvious -- you're not the first to hit this wall.
