We have now switched to the direct connection for Bitfinex. Let us know how it works.


That was ok for trading in corporative markets. These are closed dominant
corporative substructures based on extracting excessive profits and controlling
each and every one of us. Not mentioning brokerage, even these market datafeeds,
they've been reselling for years. Which in my opinion should always be free.
Because, free flow of information is vital for any economy to flourish,
especially for an alternative one. That should be quite obvious to anyone.

We agree. But there are costs associated with Sierra Chart that we do have to pass on. We do keep our prices low. When you look at commissions you pay to these Bitcoin exchanges, the commissions are a much higher cost to you pay.

So the Bitcoin exchanges earn their money on commissions and they give the data out for free. That makes sense sense. Compare this to the CME where they charge trading fees, and also still on top of that charge for their market data and very tightly control it and want to know each and every person who has access to it.

We also do not earn any money from advertising.
