A. Competitive CD ROMs cannot be updated, requiring that you store new updates on your hard drive and purchase new history CDs quarterly or semi-annually. This is not the case with Unfair Advantage. Our software squeezes a copy of the ENTIRE commodity, stock, and/or option database on your hard drive, updating and correcting errors daily using minimal space. This compression allows the 50-year futures database to reside in about 30 Mb of hard disk space.
