Plan Details

How to choose

Free: check key macro. Core: monitor, save & export. Global: formulas, historical-regime comparison, reporting & data completion.

The decisive difference between Pro and Premium: Pro extends the free check features into monitoring, saving and export. Premium adds Formula Lab, Historical Regime Lab, Lead-Lag Explorer, Local CSV Joiner, Encrypted Workspace, Report Studio, Global Rates Matrix, Country Macro Cards and Macro Scenario Builder, data completion from FRED / World Bank / OECD / IMF / BIS, and additional macro-data completion & customization (subscribers only). If you research, validate and report on macro over time rather than checking it once, Premium is the better fit.

Local-first & Data

Public data, organized and visualized. Your data stays with you.

Not an AI feature. We descriptively organize and visualize public macro data and the data you load locally.

Local CSV processed in your browser

The Local CSV Joiner runs in your browser and never uploads your CSV to SG Group’s servers. Completion and joining happen entirely on your device.

Encrypted Local Workspace

Premium saving is encrypted with WebCrypto. Workspaces, notes and templates are handled on your device or in your own files (your passphrase is never sent).

A descriptive visualization tool

This tool mechanically organizes and visualizes public data and data you load on your device. It does not recommend, advise, solicit or guarantee the purchase, holding, entry, exit, price movement or investment decision for any financial instrument.

Who it’s for

Traders, investors and researchers who check COT, rates, real yields and EIA every week — individuals and teams doing ongoing monitoring and reporting.

Billing & Policy

Payments & refund policy

Payments are processed by Stripe. Choose monthly or yearly (yearly = 2 months off).

Monthly or yearly

Pick monthly or yearly. Yearly equals 10 months of the monthly price (i.e. you save 2 months). Use the switch above to compare anytime.

Changing plans

A change between paid plans is treated as a new subscription to the target plan and triggers a new charge. No prorated refund, offset or credit is applied for the unused period.

Cancellation

Cancelling incurs no additional charge. No prorated refund, offset or credit for the unused period — but you can generally use the plan’s features until the end of the current term. Subscription management and cancellation are handled in Stripe’s billing portal.

Stripe Secure payment processing. Checkout, subscription management and cancellation run from the Stripe Buy buttons / billing portal.

Start free — check key macro. Research & report with Core / Global.

Please read before using

  • This tool mechanically organizes and visualizes public data and data you load on your device. It does not recommend, advise, solicit or guarantee the purchase, holding, entry, exit, price movement or investment decision for any financial instrument.
  • The analysis and displays on this page are descriptive comparison and visualization, not investment advice, buy/sell signals, forecasts or discretionary management.
  • Only Premium subscribers can access the additional macro-data completion & customization feature. It completes existing dashboards, Country Macro Cards, the Global Rates Matrix, Research Report Packs, etc. with free public data from FRED, World Bank, OECD, IMF, BIS and central banks, or with local CSV you provide. It is limited to macro information such as rates, real yields, inflation, GDP, central-bank indicators, liquidity indicators and country macro indicators. It does not provide buy/sell decisions, entries, exits, target prices, position proposals, individual portfolio advice or investment advice for specific instruments.
  • Whether additional data can be obtained or supported depends on the availability of free public data, its terms of use, API specifications, API limits and license conditions. Special data integrations, custom data shaping or enterprise custom implementations may require a separate quote or individual handling.
  • Local CSV and the Encrypted Workspace stay in files on your device under your control; they are not received by us or handed to any AI. Keeping the files and passphrases safe is your responsibility.
  • Data from FRED, World Bank, OECD, IMF, BIS, EIA, CFTC and central banks is subject to each provider’s terms of use. Values may not match across sources due to source, update timing or revisions.
  • No prorated refund, adjustment or reduction is made for mid-term cancellation, plan change, suspension or unused periods. A plan change triggers a new charge for the target plan. Subscription management and cancellation are handled in Stripe’s billing portal.
  • Prices and plan contents may change without notice. Payment is processed via Stripe.
