Software Billing/Reimbursements
The date you first log into Trade Eagle will initiate your Trade Eagle software fee. The first connection will result in the full Trade Eagle fee charge and will not be prorated. Software restarts (after a suspension of service) are not prorated. The trade schedule used to determine the software reimbursement is never prorated. Data feed fees are never prorated for a mid month cancellation/activation. All Trade Eagle and data feed subscriptions are based on a calendar month.
Trade Eagle software fees (and any associated data feed fees) are debited at the beginning of the calendar month. The total number of trades executed in the account during the calendar month will be totaled at the end of month. If the requisite amount of trades to qualify for a software reimbursement were executed, the appropriate software credits will be posted to your account. These reimbursements are posted in the middle of the following calendar month. For example, software fees assessed in October will be reimbursed in mid-November, if the requisite amount of trades were placed in October. Fees for data feeds are never reimbursed.
If you are eligible for free software based on a promotion, your account will be debited at the beginning of the month as noted above, but will be reimbursed as noted above regardless of the amount of trades placed in your account for that calendar month.
Should you wish to cancel your Trade Eagle software subscription or any data feed subscriptions, they must be provided to Trade Eagle in writing (e-mail is acceptable – tradeeagle@ridgewayconger.com) 2 business days before the end of the current calendar month to ensure that you will not be charged for the fees in the subsequent calendar month. If a cancellation request is submitted after this time, will make every attempt to have the subscription cancelled, but cannot guarantee that the subscription will be cancelled and the fee will not be assessed to your account for the next calendar month.
All software fee debits and reimbursements may be viewed through the cash activity report through the Trade Eagle client center.
