When I first started StocksCafe more than 5 years ago, my intention was to share it freely. However, there are costs to keep a site like StocksCafe running, of which the biggest expense is data licensing, which easily runs north of 5 digits annually. Due to this, I started charging a small fee for usage. However, I understand that nothing beats being free. So I started searching for different ways for StocksCafe to be both financially viable and yet be free for users. At this point of writing, collaborations with brokerages seem to be the solution. StocksCafe would introduce new users to them and in return, they would pay StocksCafe. As for users, you get to try out new brokerages and at the same time use StocksCafe for without having to pay. It is a win-win-win situation. If you have yet to sign up with either Saxo or Tiger, do consider doing so via StocksCafe's collaborations with them....
