## What MotiveWave costs

MotiveWave lists a free Community edition and paid Standard, Order Flow, EW Lite, PRO and Ultimate editions, leased or purchased. Its product page did not show the base prices to us, so we do not quote them.

The optional one-year updates and support add-on is listed from $55 (Standard) to $295 (Ultimate). A trial licence reverts to Community when it ends.

## How it connects to a prop account

MotiveWave lists Rithmic among its connections, so a Rithmic login from your firm is the path to a prop account. Its site does not mention prop firms or Tradovate, so check your firm’s platform list.

A prop firm account follows the firm’s own terms. Check whether the firm includes the platform, charges for it, or asks you to pay the vendor directly.
