Post From: TSX/TSXV data feed @ US$36.75/mo - ?

Indeed, never understood that one myself!

Still, resident/non-resident aside, your price of $36.75 is "totally insane" to borrow your own language.

Have to say I salute Barchart’s pricing that must be the world’s HIGHEST. To sell a $12 product for $36 must be a record in today’s electronic age! (TMX global pricing - https://www.tmxinfoservices.com/resource/en/182/subscriber-data-rates-outside-2014-10-30-en.pdf)

What I cannot understand is why you are using a middleman to get this data when you could get it directly from TMX for way less as a Vendor. You would then be able to charge a healthy markup and sell this data to many more users that are currently buying it from you for $36. This will be a real win-win for your own balance sheet and for your users’ pockets.

Lots of companies already signed up as Vendors, so I assume this can be done (https://tmxinfoservices.com/tmx-datalinx/accessing-data/vendor-and-partner-list).

As things stand today, your product is significantly off-market. Other companies that took the time to become Vendors are able to offer much much lower rates for the same real-time TSX/TSXV feed:
- TradingView - $9.00/mo (https://www.tradingview.com/gopro/?source=header_main_menu&feature=pricing)
- Stockcharts - $9.95/mo (https://stockcharts.com/pricing/index.html)

Compare that to $36.75/mo that Barchart is charging and you can see that you are missing out on many more users who know that this price is totally off-market and currently get this feed elsewhere.

Finally, I read on another thread that support for Barchart had been discontinued. So perhaps now is the time to set up TSX/TSXV data feed in a proper way?
