Will the YM Data Feed be included with the Globex E-mini Data Feed

[The Bear 10]

Does anyone know if the YM will be included with the ES feed eventually?

 

Or will we have to pay 2 separate fees to get both. I noticed in TradeStation that CBOT has no 'mini' data feed, just the 1 normal feed.

 

What's the deal with this?

question about having one CME/CBOT data feed product for all E-mini's because they haven't begun to dig into that "project," which sounded to be several years off yet

 

All from the TS forum regarding the new $55 fee.

Given the comments in this thread and in the spirit of being helpful, I called CBOT yesterday and just received their call back this morning from Angie.

 

1) CBOT, in fact, terminated their free "promotional" data stream product that we had been getting from TS.

 

2) CBOT charges all of its vendors that provide CBOT products to retail traders, the same amount; $55/month.

 

3) CBOT only changes their fees and products at year end.

 

4) While it's off in the future, CBOT is exploring product package options similar to the three CME data packages for those of us who only trade E-mini's.

 

5) CBOT notifies its vendor customers 30-90 days in advance of product and price changes. TS's "delay" in notifying us was probably due to all of the internal administrative/operational changes TS first had to implement before sending out their Notice Email to us.

 

Hope this helps clarify things.

StratMan, did the CBOT say anything about the exchange fees when the CBOT migrates fully to Globex? Will there just be one exchange fee since all the electronic contracts will be on the CME/Globex? There will be just one exchange as I understand it...a merger of equals...

Having seen your prior post, TradingDude, I did inquire on that. When CME bot CBOT in late 2006 (See the Dec '06 issue of SFO magazine), that was just the first step. Since then, most all of the internal activities from that merger have focused on integrating operations and administration. Once the "new" internal infrastructure is "complete," CME/CBOT will investigate/work on the kind of issues you asked about. Angie could not even comment on my question about having one CME/CBOT data feed product for all E-mini's because they haven't begun to dig into that "project," which sounded to be several years off yet. But who knows, maybe they'll surprise us and accelerate the release of their future products. For now, there are no anticipated changes for CME data products.

 

Additionally, Angie made it very clear to me that the CME/CBOT welcomes and listens to all ideas from the retail trader camp. Spread the word... Maybe a grassroots effort will start that will help shape the future CME/CBOT products. (http://www.cbot.com/)
