I was wondering if anyone could help me with a query. Would you be classified as a professional if you were CF30 authorised?
IT doesn't really specify and not sure how much they take into account foreign financial regs. Also not sure what the consequences be if I classified myself as non-professional and they disagreed.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?

I talked to CME Market Data Services today, they were very friendly and helpful, and confirmed what has already been said and dissected here.
I would like to reemphasize the member netting program they have. The way it was explained to me, if you are a member and registered with the exchange under the netting program you will then be billed directly by the CME, and will not have to pay any data fees at the broker level no matter how many brokers, or devices/platforms you have.
It should be noted that if you are a professional on one exchange you are considered a professional for all the exchanges. Similarly if you are member on just one exchange you are entitled to netting on all exchanges as well. I mention this because some of the memberships are very cheap. (CME/GEM $100/mth, CBOT/IDEM $46/mth!). While these memberships may not come with the fee breaks that some of the more expensive memberships do but for a small fee you may be able to qualify for membership data bundling across the CME Group. An additional thing to consider though is the potential tax implication of being a member.
I am using Rithmic data into both NinjaTrader & Sierra charts. Does this mean I will have to pay $15*2 per month for all 4 exchanges?? How do I go about getting just the top of the book for all exchanges as I don't need market depth?? Do I go through sierra charts or contact brokers directly?? Maybe Matt can let me know what to do...
I have PM's you and we will take care of with our support team.

Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. You may lose more than your initial investment. All posts are opinions and do not claim to be facts. Please conduct your own due diligence. Use only Risk capital when trading Futures.

This was the proposal. My understanding there has been a lot of push back, so we may not see all these changes.
The $15 per platform per user fee could be a problem for some traders (or their brokers).

thread. I've only just checked my balance and I've been charged $15 per month for the market depth instead of the Top Of The Book deal I thought was set up for me since the start of the year. Not to worry about the oversight. Can you set up the Top Of The Book for me now as I don't need market depth? Is there anything I need to do my end regarding NT or Sierra?? I require CME, CBOT, NYMEX & COMEX Bundle Top Of The Book Only = $3 per month.
