Free vs Pro Data

What you can browse publicly, what free sign-in unlocks, and what Pro and Quant add.

What it is

PositionAlpha’s public hub — homepage, market overviews, Learn, FAQ, and legal pages — is open without an account. After free Google sign-in you can build and preview trading bots, indicators and conversions in Bot Studio, paying once for each one you download, and gold, oil and EUR/USD unlock on the Quant Platform. Pro adds every market and news.

Why it matters

Clear tier boundaries build trust and prevent surprise paywalls mid-research. AdSense reviewers and new users should understand that substantial educational content is free, while deeper tooling is optional.

How traders use it

Start on /markets and /learn. Sign in when you want to build a bot or need charts on free assets. Upgrade only if you need more bots or the broader universe of markets. Review Terms and Privacy for billing and data practices.

Example

A visitor reads the gold public overview and COT guide, signs in to build a free gold bot, and later upgrades to build bots on other markets.

Deeper context

Entitlements are enforced server-side. Free asset IDs are defined centrally (gold, oil, eurusd). Public pages intentionally keep educational copy outside /app so crawlers are not blocked by robots rules that disallow the app shell.
