License for the data

These terms apply from 12 August 2026, the day the first public pages went out, and were extended to the commodity pages on 17 August 2026.

At the foot of every one of our pages there is a line that says the same thing in two sentences: consultation and citation with a link are free for personal use; commercial use, systematic republication and redistribution of the data require a license. This page sets it out in full.

You can read these pages as often as you like, without registering and without asking anyone. You can cite a number from them in an article, a post, a thesis or a lesson, with a link to the page you took it from.

The link is not a formality: it is what lets your reader verify the figure and see its date. One of our numbers without its date and without its page is a number nobody can check, and at that point it is of no use to anyone.

You may also show a screenshot of a page — a table of dividend payments, say — as long as where it comes from stays visible.

An agreement with us is needed when the use stops being a citation and becomes a systematic feed. In practice: copying our tables to another site on a regular basis, feeding a product or a service with our numbers, redistributing them to third parties, reselling them, or using them to train a model.

The difference is not in how many figures are involved; it is in continuity. Citing one company’s dividend yield in an article is a citation. Taking the yield of every company on a list every morning is something else.

It applies to automated collection as well: if a program reads our pages repeatedly to build itself an archive, that is systematic use, whatever it is called.

Very little is needed: the name of the source, the date of the figure, and a link to the page. For example “dividend indicated for the next twelve months, DOMINA, close of 18 August 2026”, with the link to the company page.

The date counts as much as the number. A yield changes every day because the price changes: citing it without saying which close it refers to makes it false the following day. The reason why is written in how we work with data.

If you cite a historical series, state the range as well: dividends paid from 1 January 2004 onwards, for instance, and not simply “the history”.

Exchange prices and filed accounts are not ours: they are public facts, and nobody can claim ownership of them. What is ours is the work done on top: the orderly collection, the reconstruction of the history, the measures we calculate, and the way they are presented and verified.

That is what the license applies to. If you take one company’s close on a given day, you are taking a public fact. If you take twenty-two financial years reconstructed, reconciled and lined up with the measures we have drawn from them, you are taking our work.

The same terms cover the commodity pages, the dividend calendar, the quarterly-results pages and the year page, exactly as they cover the company pages.

We publish the data with all the care we can, but without warranty of completeness or of freedom from error. A long archive contains errors: we say so openly on the page about our method, along with how we correct them.

Anyone using these numbers to decide something does so on their own responsibility. These pages are informational and statistical: they are not investment recommendations and they take no account of the reader’s situation.

If you find a figure that does not add up, tell us: correcting it is in our interest before it is in yours.

Write to support@tradingsuite.io saying three things: which data you need, what for, and how often. With those three pieces of information it is immediately clear whether an agreement is really needed or whether your use already falls within the free one.

There is no automatic price list: it depends on how much material is needed and what it is used for. A research project and a commercial product are not the same thing, and we do not treat them the same way.

These terms can change. If they change, this page changes, and the date you see below is that of the last update of the data the page is built on.

Licenses already agreed stay as agreed: a change to this page does not touch them. For everything else, what applies is what you read here on the day you read it — which is why the line at the foot of every page always points back here.

The lessons of the Trading Encyclopedia are free to read, and the platform is where the charts, the screening and the comparisons live. Everything on this page applies to both.
