How is this program different from the original CME Exchange Fee Waiver program?

On March 1, 2014, the CME Group terminated the Exchange Fee Waiver program in exchange for the new Non-Professional Globex Data program. Instead of completely waiving fees, the exchange is charging a reduced fee as compared to the full CME Group exchange fees. To qualify under the old Exchange Fee waiver program, you needed to have a funded trading account and utilize DTN IQFeed with a 3rd party application that was able to execute trades. Under the new Non-Professional Globex Data program, this requirement is still in force, but must be able to answer the Pro/Non-Pro questions as a Non-Professional in order to qualify.
