*Low day trade margins are a double-edged sword, as lower margins mean you have higher leverage and therefore higher risk. All commissions quoted are not inclusive of exchange and NFA fees unless otherwise noted. Apex does not charge for real-time futures market data, but the exchanges where products are traded do. For example, the CME charges $2-12 per month depending on the type of data you require. Please contact us for pricing for the specific exchanges where you would like to have real-time market data.
