“One thing that’s really appealing about Gain.pro is the analyst overlay that's provided. Oftentimes, Gain.pro gives estimates based on proprietary intelligence or market rumor that wouldn't get captured in other platforms. That's really helpful. It also means someone's been through and sense-checked the data.”
