Quantity of data, best guess

[poeds]

For 1 instrument (6E) nearest expiry only
How much data per month (20 trading days) is being downloaded by NT
Is there a ballpark guesstimate?

Thanks

It would depend on what kind of data: tick, minute, etc, and it will also vary widely from instrument to instrument.

Ah would be tick then with bid/offers on market depth as well

This is just a guess, but I'm going to say 5 to 10MB for 6E.
