LightWave Trading Platform Frequently Asked Questions

Why did you ask for my credit card? In order to power our software in compliance with various exchanges, we are required to have your billing information on file. However, please rest assured that we will not place a hold or charge your credit card during your free 30-day trial. If you decide the LightWave Trading Platform isn't for you, just cancel your subscription according to our Terms & Conditions. Your LightWave subscription is a month-to-month agreement that you're free to cancel at any time.  It's as simple as that.

After my free trial, is the price really only $99 a month? If you've selected to use 1 asset class in the LightWave Trading Platform, the price is only $99 per month after your free trial.

What if I want to trade more than 1 asset class? The LightWave Trading Platform is designed to enable you to trade all four (4) asset classes at the same time.  Want to unleash the full power of LightWave?  Upgrade to the LightWave Trading Suite for only $179 per month for MB Trading customers.  If you don't have a funded account at MB Trading, the monthly price is $299 per month.  Learn more about MB Trading now.

Also, a personal Orientation Trainer will guide you through product installation and direct you to our online training resources to get you started. As always, you receive free technical support and customer service for as long as your account remains active.

What does the LightWave Trading Suite include? In addition to the training and support for any LightWave product, the LightWave Trading Suite includes additional analysis tools, such as Live Market Alerts, Real-Time News, Scanner Tools and Strategy Applications.

Do I have to buy anything else to make the software run? Your data feed cost is included with the monthly charge! The equities data feed includes U.S, exchanges only; select international exchanges or professional fees will incur an additional charge.

Do I need to sign any long-term contracts? Absolutely not.  You can cancel anytime you choose; we do not require long-term contracts to receive your monthly price of $99, $179 or $299.

What if I want to trade live? Trading live through your LightWave Trading Platform is easy and seamless.  Just open an MB Trading account and you'll be on your way to executing your trades through your software using one of Barron's top-rated online brokers.
