Interactive Brokers - Market Data Subscription Manager?

[Richard]

Hi Kim,

 

Im still new and navigating my way through the IB platform. In terms of getting real time option quotes directly from the IB platform is this an additional service? Is it the Market Data Subs Manager? I see its only $1 a month for options.

 

It makes sense as thus far Im unsure where or if I can get real times quotes for call or put options in my positions. Perhaps you can help?

 

Thanks,

Rich

For real time quotes in IB, you need US Securities bundle (to be replaced with US value bundle) which is $10/months, but waived if you generate $30/month in commissions. I also have Russell Indices for $2 and CBOE Futures for $3. Worst case if some subscription is missing - it will tell you.

so as a minimum one really needs US value bundle (free with >$30 commissions) and US Options for USD 1.5 a month

[Kim]

Yes. And US Options is free as well if you generate $20/month in commissions.

Is the information above still up to date... US Options seems to be 30.00$/month on IB ?
