Does Blue Guardian Futures include Level 1 and Level 2 data for DeepCharts?
Blue Guardian Futures provides CME Level 1 data by default for DeepCharts.
If you require CBOT Level 1, COMEX Level 1, and NYMEX Level 1, this is available as an additional $5 data upgrade. This gives access to all three additional Level 1 exchanges together, not $5 per exchange.
Level 2 Data Pricing
Level 2 data is optional and can be purchased separately:
Data Package | Cost |
CME Futures L2 | $12.10 |
CBOT Futures L2 | $12.10 |
COMEX Futures L2 | $12.10 |
NYMEX Futures L2 | $12.10 |
CME Group Futures L2 | $36.50 |
Why is this separate?
COMEX Level 2 data is an exchange-specific premium feed and carries an additional exchange cost. This add-on is optional and only required for traders who need advanced order book and market depth data for COMEX instruments. Standard futures market data will still be available without this add-on.
