Yes and no.
The platform is free if you do 10 round trips per month, otherwise its $100 a month.
The ecbot data with market depth is free for the time being, dunno if that will change or not...hope not.
You may want opra, nyse and some other data add ons depending on what internals or added things you want to look at.
You are going into a heavily leveraged instrument and the ecbot can and has gone down a handful of times this year. You should have a hedging plan in case you are in a trade and the ecbot craps out. If you decide to set that up you will need to pay for data for the ES for example.
