Step 3

Complete any required market data agreements

Because AlchemCharts includes exchange data, you may be asked to complete market data agreements before all data is active.

These forms are required by the exchanges. They are not optional, and they help determine what data you are allowed to access.

What to expect

  • You may see forms asking about your subscriber status.
  • You may need to confirm whether you are a professional or non-professional user.
  • Your account may not show all data until the forms are complete.
  • If you are unsure how to answer, contact us.

Do not guess on exchange agreement questions If you are unsure how to answer, ask for help before submitting. Incorrect answers can affect your data access.
