I do not know because I never used this service, and have no information
Probably, as it is a relatively new one, some time is expected to setup a quality service.
If my information was correct, the service was free at the beginning.

If you refer to the latest Futures Magazine issue, it seems that finding an historical
data service without error is impossible.
Theirs is not first ( CSI wins ) but not the worst.
Time will tell.
I never said that Omega was the perfect world.
It's the only world for the moment and I am accustomed to live in it.
Concerning the peruvian rooster, its problem will be solved tomorrow
after one night spent with some burgundy wine, 2 hours and half for cooking.
Salt , pepper and à table.
Sincerely,
Pierre Orphelin
