The option "value graphs" are unique, as far as I know. They plot iv vs.
the average iv range (from the past 10 yrs.) vs month. Gives a different
perspective on whether the option volatility is unreasonable or not., as
well as a seasonal view.

I think most of the other charts could be obtained free on the net. They
do offer some commentary but I have not followed that. They offer a
"commodity selector" which rates commodities for trend in 3 timeframes
and separates ones that might be ripe for entry. This might be useful
tho it's not a complete entry/exit system. 

Their Trendsetter system is a complete system available at an extra
charge. Commodity Traders Consumer Reports tracks it in a subset of
commodities. As I recall, in the past it has done well, tho with the
typical large drawdown You should fully understand the capital
requirements of any system before you trade it however. I didnt' (on a
different system) and I'm still trying to recover.. 

A couple years ago as I was starting, I sampled several of their
services ala carte. As I cancelled several they were always good about
issuing a credit. So you are probably safe in trying it, even if you
aren't sure.
