Here's great news for ExtraRT members that want to save some money. ExtraRT members can now choose to downgrade their account from ExtraRT to regular Extra.
Why would they want to do that?
Now that we provide "free" realtime charts using data from the BATS exchange, some of our current ExtraRT members may decide that BATS data is good enough for them and they want to save the extra $9.95 per month that ExtraRT's "real" realtime costs.
For example, consider an ExtraRT member that only looks at popular US stocks and has 10 months remaining on their ExtraRT subscription. If that member chooses to downgrade to Extra, they will get 4 additional months of service added to their account(!) and their renewal next year will cost much less.
You need to make absolutely sure that you understand the differences between BATS realtime data and "real" realtime data before deciding to downgrade. While you can always choose to upgrade back to ExtraRT, you'll have to pay for upgrading those additional months also and that could get expensive.
Here are some links to my previous articles about BATS data and how it differs from NYSE/Nasdaq/TSX realtime data:

and
"Real" real-time vs. "Free" real-time
If those differences don't matter to you, click here and enter your User ID and password, then select "Downgrade to Extra" on the page that appears and follow the instructions. Soon, you'll be enjoying free realtime data and saving money!
