It is possible that we have contracts with other EA distributing platforms (partners). They offer their own plans and services on the partner EA platforms. They might explain those plans and services in a different way.

IMPORTANT: Data by Fundamental Prime

We distribute processed data from multiple sources and there might be difference from the data provided by others. Also, there could be a delay and incorrect web API data might be sent. We would like to ask all the EA developers to keep “data delay”, “internet disconnection” in mind. We do not guarantee the distribution without delay and the accuracy of the data. In the end, we cannot compensate for any damage.

Economic calendar data

Economic calendar data includes “previous, expected and the latest number”. In particular, it is highly possible that forecasted number differs depends on the data source. In this case, we distribute several different forecasted numbers provided by several sources.

It should be at least 10 seconds delay after the announcement of the economic indicators. From time to time, the announcement itself delays. Keep those possibilities in mind and we do not recommend the trading strategy that putting an order immediately after the announcement.
