- 1997: Volume 6, No. 2 CRB DataCenter: A Complete Dial-in Futures Information Source

The backbone of the CRB DataCenter is Final Markets, a daily market price data service available in four different packages so that you can choose the package that matches the markets you trade.

Since 1934, the Commodity Research Bureau has published Futures Market Service. This in-depth daily research report is available as fundamental analysis, technical analysis, or as a combined service. Futures Market Service reports on what is currently moving the markets, and what the expectations are for future movements.

EFTA is the acronym for Electronic Futures Trend Analyzer, the CRB's own black-box trading system which categorizes the markets as uptrending, downtrending, or sideways. Support and resistance levels are calculated for each market and double as stop-loss points for those markets designated to be in uptrends or downtrends.

Anyone who contacts CRB can receive open access to all of the CRB DataCenter packages for free introductory 14-day trials. This allows examination of all of the services at no cost or obligation. Then, at the end of the trial period, customers can choose to subscribe only to those packages they need to enhance their trading decisions.

If you're looking for a way to customize the information you need and save money, consider the CRB DataKit. The DataKit allows customers to select and prepay for only the information packages they really need-at specially discounted rates. For example, a one-year prepaid subscription to any of the Final Markets packages includes over $430.00 worth of software and historical data at no extra charge.

With all of the information available on the CRB DataCenter the potential exists to turn a personal computer into a highly powerful futures market research tool. The same market information the professionals receive is now available to all for only a dollar or two a day. Call 1-800-621-5271 for a free demo disk to access the CRB DataCenter.
