Ninja Trader as real time data provider

[Stardriver]

Hello,

Context:

I see in the link below that market data can be obtained (section "Exchange Data Fees").

Questions (sorry if some questions may sound naive, but I want to be sure):

1) Are these real-time data ?

2) Are these data optional, or is it mandatory to pay for them ?

3) If these data are optional, how can they be paid for ?

4) Does it also provide historical intraday data ?

5) If it does provide real-time data for the markets I want to trade, is another data provider needed? (I'm wondering because NT prices are quite competitive compared to other data providers, so I'm wondering if something is missing or if there's something I haven't understood)

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely.

Hello Stardriver,

Data subscriptions in the client portal are for real-time data.
It is not required to subscribe to real-time data, unless you need real-time data for the instruments you wish to chart or trade.
Data subscriptions are paid from the account balance in the client portal.
Yes, historical tick and minute data are provided (even without a real-time data subscription)
No, another data source would not be required, unless the instruments you wish to chart are not available with NinjaTrader.

Below is a link to the client portal.
