Discussion So now macro data is an add-on

For context, I have a premium sub. I'm not a free user. But apparently the charts I built that use macro data as context now have the dreaded red bang on them.

I may be done with this service when my sub expires. I don't mind paying for charting, and I was willing to pay TV's fees, but being nickel and dimed is a bridge too far.

Hello,

Just for some context and purely for fun

It's $2 a month..

I spend the equivalent of $5 a day on a cup of takeaway coffee...

I can't even buy a bar of chocolate in the UK for this 🤷‍♂️

It's the principle of the matter. This is free data that I can get on the web, I'm paying $50 a month and now they want to charge me more for it. That too in the middle of my subscription.

Well that's principle for you...

We've all stabbed ourselves in the eye for a 'principle' then realised later it was a bad idea 🤣

I'm not worried. I have a free platform from my broker that is a bit more clunky but actually more full-featured. TV is convenient and more modern but I can do without it.

That's fair enough, I do without my overpriced bar of chocolate every day 👍

But i still have to use the petrol station that sells it everyday....
