Cons
“Data is often incorrect and should not be taken at face value. Data sets seem to disappear without warning, so relying on it vs the competition can be problematic.”

“I use the terminal for commodities and equities. The commodity portion has gotten steadily worse since 2018.”

“Data disappears, much of the cash pricing is in accurate and a mess. I have taken to using a competing product for commodity data.”
