In software version 5.8, this page replaces the Market Data Services page, Trader Enablements page, and Private Label and Connection Mode Authorization section on the Trader Info page.

Products and services are further broken down by items within that service and the type of service. Click the + button to expose this information.
Product and service settings can be changed only by authorized users.

Additional details |
Some services have an additional identifier: W = All the exchanges in this service waive their market data fees for traders. F = Trader currently qualifies for free quotes. Indicates that this trader is currently authorized to trade at least one commodity on an exchange in this exchange group, and the exchange group waives its fee for traders, so no exchange fee is charged, even if the exchange group is enabled. T = Only traders authorized for this service and authorized to trade at least one instrument from one of the exchanges in the service receive market data. |
A trader with a Simple CQGT enablement is prohibited from being authorized on accounts at different FCMs.
Traders with view-only trader authorization do not receive quote data. A trader can view data if:
•the fee waived is for exchange;
•the trader is not view-only (Traders > Trader Authorization);
•the account is allowed to trade at least one commodity (Accounts > Allowable Markets); and
If they are enabled for non-billable FCMs, then they see data for only tradeable commodities that have been enabled on Account > Allowable Markets.
If a trader is not enabled for fee-waived data, then the trader must be:
•explicitly enabled for that market data service; and
•authorized on at least one regular account, which is at a billable FCM.
