Are StoneX futures tools free to use?

Access to individual tools varies. Some planning resources such as the futures calendar and the hours and margins reference may be accessible without an account. Tools that depend on live market data, real-time pricing, or platform integration may require an account or platform access to function fully. Check each tool page directly for current access requirements. StoneX does not guarantee account-free access to all tools or data types.

Do I need an account to access futures tools?

Some publicly available planning resources may be accessible without a StoneX account. However, tools that involve live or real-time futures data, account-linked features, or execution functionality may require the appropriate account or platform access. If you are evaluating StoneX before opening an account, the tools overview and demo account options can help you explore the platform environment before committing capital. For confirmation of what is accessible with and without an account, speak with the StoneX team.

What futures tool should I use?

Different tools address different planning needs. Use the futures calculator when you want to work out tick values, position sizing, or profit and loss targets before trading. Use the futures calendar to stay ahead of upcoming contract expirations, rollover windows, and key exchange dates. Use futures quotes and charts for live price visibility across the contracts you follow without needing to open a trading platform. Use hours and margins to confirm when a market is open and what margin is required before entering or holding a position. If you are unsure which tool fits your current situation, the toolkit overview above describes each one in practical terms.
