Running costs
Servers, data downloads, domains and security.
Why your donation matters
ICC Terminal is built and run by a small team. Plans pay for part of it, but not all of it. Donations keep the free data free — the COT report, the India and Pakistan markets, the calendar — and the servers running, even in months when few people buy a plan.
What it costs to run a market terminal
- Servers. The data updater, the API for the app and the web terminal run 24 hours a day on our own server.
- Data collection. CFTC, CME, NSE and price data are downloaded and checked several times a day, and their history keeps growing.
- Security and delivery. Domain names, encryption, protection against attacks and the network that makes pages load fast.
- Development. Most of the cost is people: research, coding, testing every number against the official source, and guides in many languages.
Where the money goes

- It is not an investment and gives no share, return or profit of any kind.
- ICC Terminal is not a registered charity, so donations are not tax deductible.
- Any amount helps. Please only give what you can comfortably spare.
- If you like, your name can appear as a supporter. Otherwise your donation stays private.
