Methodology

This page explains which data ThePriceChart publishes, where it comes from, how often it is refreshed, and how corrections are handled. Different site features use different sources; we identify them separately to avoid implying that one feed powers every number.

Live price displays and charts

Live ticker and chart widgets are provided and rendered directly by TradingView. ThePriceChart does not proxy, rewrite, or independently reproduce the prices shown inside those widgets. Widget availability, timing, and market coverage are controlled by TradingView and its data partners.

Build-time market snapshots

Performance metrics and market snapshot cards are generated during the site build from documented public market feeds. Gold and silver snapshots use OKX market data where the referenced instrument is available. WTI metrics use the Yahoo Finance CL=F continuous-futures feed, with previously generated data retained when a build-time provider is temporarily unavailable. Snapshot timestamps are stored with the generated data.

Spread monitoring

Spread history is a separate dataset from the TradingView widgets. Scheduled infrastructure records supported bid and ask observations approximately every four hours, validates the readings, and calculates rolling aggregates. A scheduled observation is a point-in-time measurement, not a guarantee of the spread a user will receive at another moment.

Platform comparison data

The current comparison set contains 10 platforms. Fees, product availability, trading hours, minimums, and regulatory descriptions are sourced from official platform pages or public registers where available. Values can vary by account tier, jurisdiction, instrument, and market conditions. Items that cannot be independently confirmed are marked Unconfirmed rather than inferred.

Editorial review and corrections

We review material changes and correction reports against the cited source before updating a page. The displayed update date identifies the latest recorded review or data build; it does not mean every external term remained unchanged after that moment. Forecasts are scenarios for informational and educational use, not promises or recommendations.

Affiliate relationships

Some outbound links are affiliate links and may generate a commission. Affiliate status does not change the stated comparison criteria. Readers can use the source links and timestamps to verify material claims independently.
