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?

@Lady,

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.

Ok, thanks, figured it out. Had to hover over the name to get the option.
