We appreciate the feedback.
We just want to make it clear that we pay for the data licenses directly from the exchanges (CME) and use that data to build the app on top of. There are no AI models that have data licenses to redistribute price data. Any questions you ask an AI model, it can’t get accurate price data, which is obviously critical to the process of analytics.
You can’t trust the result that come out of general AI models.
In addition to the price data issue, most LLMs will make a ton of assumptions to get you an answer as quickly as possible. For someone who isn’t familiar with the technical details, you can easily start to trade on the wrong data because you don’t fully understand the assumptions.
TradingView doesn’t provide any data, they have free indicators, but the indicators that are included in our essential edgeful plan are specifically built around the reports, so you don’t need to hopefully find an indicator that properly matches the report you’re looking at. The edgeful indicators are curated to the reports, and included in the essential plan for convenience to the users. We constantly update them and take requests to build new ones for free.
The API isn’t for everyone, if you want to interact with the edgeful data with AI, you can use edgeful AI in the edgeful app, which is included in the essential plan. The API is meant for more in depth workflows, not just simple questions, you can ask it simple questions but it’s built for people that want to integrate their data into their AI routines / workflows.
We’ve never done anything “to make more money out of you” we’ve added dozens of new features, 50 new indicators, over 150 reports, edgeful AI, what’s in play, daily bias screener, and discovery.
If you look at the other reviews we have, you’ll see how much we invest in the customer experience, it’s clear our intentions aren’t to make more money from our users.
