$30 (about US$21) per month for all major liquid futures contracts 
(about 85 contracts).  The spot prices provided are relevant the 
futures contracts.  We don't aim to provide data for every single 
market and every single commodity that's available, rather just the 
ones that the majority of traders would be interested in.

trying to figure out how to use the Metastock MDK, developing and 
refining the Advanced Stop took maybe another 30 hours.  Just the 
website, documentation, screenshots, preparing the installation 
routines (I had to reinstall Metastock v7 to generate an installer), 
took me around 10 hours.  Oh yeah, the MDK cost me US$299 three years 
ago.

involved in several trading groups in Perth which operate on a cost-
recovery basis and are used to further the education of people out 
there.  This is one way of me supporting the trading community.  I 
also can't deny that a positive side-effect of people seeing and 
using these plugins is that they might subscribe to data.  However, 
I'm a firm believer that people can make their own decisions on the 
data they want without people evangelising or pushing it down their 
throat.  It's part of the reason that we allow people to trial our 
data services online too without having to provide any money up-front.
