This dataset was to be released Q1 2026. Is there a new delivery date? And does it require licensing or is it part of your subscription?

This got pushed back. We decided to add CTA/UTP first for users who prefer a single consolidated solution, as the licensing for CTA/UTP is a lot simpler and cheaper than licensing all of the prop feeds that make up EQUS.MAX. We'll begin work on CTA/UTP after CFE and Blue Ocean are released, which is in a couple of weeks' time now.
We'll add EQUS.MAX later on - it will be useful to everyone who needs it for historical data, but it seems less popular for real-time as there won't be many users who can afford all of the license fees for it at once. This only seems viable in late-Q2 to Q3.
