The best approach is to determine who you want to select as your broker, and then look to see if they have a demo account. This will usually give you access to their trading platform and market data for two weeks. It is usually recommended to go to CQG for a demo account because their fills are more accurate.
Well for these people it would be something for a year. I think after I get a few people "in with a grin," they'll stand as testament of others to put down funds on platform and data without being such skeptics about it being some get rich quick scheme from a stranger scam bag on the internet like there are a ton of in every industry since the beginning of empires.
So CQG is a demo for a few weeks, but at what cost thereafter?
How about Ninja Trader? Free platform for however long, but what's the cost of the data?
If you are classed as a non-professional and if we are talking about CME exchanges only, the cost of the data is 15 USD per month per user. However this presuppose opening an account fist I believe.
But if you say you are training other people, then chances are you would not be classed as a non-professional (i.e. you would be classed as a professional), in which case the fees go up quite substantially. I am not sure by how much exactly but others can advise on that.
One thing i wonder though. If someone passes a combine and gets funded, i understand he needs to pay the pro fees but what about if he is kicked out of the program because he busted his account. If the pour soul takes a combine again to qualify for a new funded account, does he need to pay the pro fees during his combine after having been funded one time and considered a pro trader?
