A simulator built on invented prices would teach nothing. This page names every source Abu Terminal actually uses, and is deliberately specific rather than a generic "data may be delayed" notice.
Historical prices — the core of the product
The Speed Run replays real market history. Those prices come from a price registry committed inside Abu Terminal itself: 33,258 data points across 144 tickers and five decades, from the 1980s to the 2020s.
This registry is read directly. Prices are not generated, interpolated or estimated at runtime — a ticker with no data for a month returns nothing rather than a plausible-looking number. Where a value could not be sourced reliably, the ticker is simply unavailable for that period.
The registry was assembled from public historical market records and cross-checked against known anchor points. It is static: replaying October 1987 gives the same prices today as it did last month.
Live crypto prices
CoinGecko supplies current prices for the top cryptocurrencies. This is used only for display; the simulator's historical scenarios do not depend on it.
Market sentiment
Alternative.me supplies the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, used as one input to Abu Terminal's own market-state indicator.
Charts
Interactive charts are embedded from TradingView. The chart widget is theirs and is governed by their terms; Abu Terminal does not redistribute their data.
AI responses
Ask Abu generates responses using OpenAI. Your message and the relevant retrieved knowledge-base context are sent to their API. You can avoid this entirely by choosing Knowledge Base only in Settings → Data & Privacy, which answers from Abu Terminal's own content without contacting any AI provider.
Educational content
Articles, glossary entries, playbooks and scenarios are written for Abu Terminal. Where an article draws on a named book or author, the attribution appears in the article itself.
What we do not use
Abu Terminal does not scrape undocumented endpoints for market data. A dependency on an unlicensed Yahoo Finance endpoint was removed on 16 August 2026 — every consumer of it turned out to be unused code, and the historical registry above was already doing the real work.
Abu Terminal does not connect to any brokerage or exchange account, and no real order is ever placed.
Limitations, stated plainly
Market data may be delayed, incomplete, adjusted or occasionally wrong. It is provided for the simulator's educational function and is not suitable for trade execution, valuation, accounting or any professional purpose. Rights in third-party data remain with their owners.
