I saw a video on it, fascinating to have that much info at your disposal, but seems to me much more geared for having institutional money as opposed to just a few mil to play with. I guess knowing where all the wildfires in the world and ship tankers are at this very second can help you make decisions on the viability of cocoa production in Q1 2021 and you can make the fastest possible decision. Out of curiosity, how many screens do you have?bloomberg terminal. its like 25k/year.

I agree and pay the minimum at IB. So about $5 a month, net.I only pay for data - the other stuff is IMHO a total waste of money. I pay about $200 a year for non pro futures data from IB, L1 only (there is probably some rebate I don't know what the headline cost is). It works out to about 0.04% of my account value. For the last couple of years I've paid another $200 a year for a barchart subscription, mainly to get historic data (although I'm considering keeping if I can justify it adding value).

I have faced issues with such a thing several times and I can completely understand why you are saying that. A friend of mine was using an indicator and he felt completely okay with applying the indicator to any chart as he was getting good returns. But when I used the same indicator, I found it to be really difficult to use. It was like taking a challenge with every trade and I was always on the weaker side. Felt like my friend already had a lot of money to risk and make and I was still learning and needed to find some other indicator that fits my risk appetite hahaIf it didn’t work for you doesn’t mean it won’t for anyone. It might be useful for some.
We all have been there and that’s an important lesson that we have learnt. I am a strong believer in the fact that you learn better when you make a mistake on your own. I hope that you were able to find a good indicator later on.I have faced issues with such a thing several times and I can completely understand why you are saying that.
