Data Alerts


In the information age it’s easy to drown in too much information, or find that you need to the data delivered in different formats and via a range of channels. We have developed ways to overcome the maze of information and can ensure you get the right data at the right time, in the right format.

Data feeds

Our data feeds can be set up to provide live price information direct into your own IT systems, exactly as you want them. We offer data feeds via XML, CSV and DDE to our professional subscribers and to non-subscribers for a on-off fee.

Price and news alerts

We provide an alerts service where customers can receive notifications from us when certain events appear in our news wires, or when the prices of selected commodities breaks through the customers set trigger level.

This service is completely customisable and is available only to users of our professional subscription service.

These alerts can be delivered to mobile phones via SMS, email messages or on-screen pop-ups so you can stay in touch with metal markets wherever you are, whatever you’re doing and using the delivery method that suits you best.
