Data freshness and integrity

When journalists cite a number from this site, they need to know where it came from, how fresh it is, and where it can fail. Here is how our data is produced.

Price data

• Futures and major commodities – TwelveData feeds, delayed approximately 15 minutes from the exchange tape (NYMEX, COMEX, ICE, CBOT).
• Industrial and strategic metals – MetalPriceAPI interbank spot prices, refreshed hourly.
• Unique energy and niche commodities – OilPriceAPI and CommodityPriceAPI, refreshed every 5 minutes to 2 hours depending on the asset.
• Cryptocurrency – TwelveData crypto feed aggregating major exchanges, near real-time.
• Server-side cache – 60 seconds for primary feeds. This is not a data delay; it is a rate-limit buffer. Cited prices are still the provider’s most recent value at the moment of the fetch.

Broker data

• Regulator licences and legal entity names – pulled from official public registers (FCA, ASIC, CySEC, MAS, FSC Mauritius) via automated pipelines. Re-run periodically.
• Fees, spreads, platforms – recorded at the time of each broker review. Last-verified date visible on each review page.
• ESMA loss percentages – taken from each broker’s own regulated entity pages, not from third-party aggregators.

Debt clock data

• Underlying figures from IMF Datamapper (GGXWDG, GGXWDG_NGDP series) and national central banks.
• Displayed values are interpolated from the most recent official figure plus a daily growth rate. Labelled as estimates, not official live figures.

Where our data has weak spots

• Illiquid commodities – Niche agricultural or chemical commodities may have stale quotes because the underlying markets trade rarely.
• Small-cap cryptocurrencies – Coins with fragmented liquidity across many small exchanges will have more dispersion than the major feeds can capture.
• Weekend and exchange-holiday windows – Futures prices are frozen at the last print until the exchange reopens. We label these states.
