Methodology

How Tradergy sources, computes, and dates every figure - and how the site makes money.

Reviewed by the Tradergy editorial team · September 2026
In short

Every figure on Tradergy is a factual reference value drawn from an official or reputable source, shown with the time it was struck, and never presented as advice or a forecast. The site is funded entirely by display advertising and collects no personal data.

Data status. Every figure published on Tradergy is live, struck from the sources described below and shown with the time it was struck: exchange rates, precious metals, travel-money figures, crypto prices, and the Australian economic indicators and rate tables. There are no placeholder, illustrative or example figures anywhere on the site. Where we cannot source something properly, we do not publish a page for it.

Where the figures come from

Tradergy publishes objectively-ascertainable data only. Every live figure carries the time it was struck on the page it appears; the sources behind each family are set out here rather than repeated on every page, so that a provider can be changed or added without a claim going stale.

  • Exchange rates and precious metals - official reference rates published by central banks and national monetary authorities, obtained through reputable market-data sources and cross-checked against the Reserve Bank of Australia’s published rates. The set covers well over a hundred currencies, which is what makes rates for the smaller currencies on this site available at all.
  • Economic indicators and rate tables - the Australian Bureau of Statistics (CPI/inflation, GDP, unemployment, wages, dwelling prices) and the Reserve Bank of Australia (cash rate, bond yields, the trade-weighted index, and the advertised-rate averages behind the savings, term-deposit and home-loan tables).
  • Crypto - prices from a reputable crypto market-data source, quoted in Australian dollars.

We describe our market-data providers in general terms on purpose: naming one would turn a sourcing choice into a promise, and we reserve the right to switch or add providers as coverage and licensing change. If you need to know exactly where a particular figure came from - for research, a citation, or a licensing question - contact us and we will tell you.

How the figures are computed

Exchange rates are shown at the mid-market rate - the midpoint between buy and sell - which is a reference point, not a rate you can transact at. Where a pair is not published directly, it is derived from the two currencies’ rates against the Australian dollar. Converters and calculators compute results in your browser; nothing you type is sent to a server or stored. Where a figure is derived (for example, a value adjusted for inflation), the basis is stated on the page.

How often it updates

Exchange rates, metals and crypto prices are refreshed through the day; economic indicators and rate tables update when the ABS or RBA publishes a new release. Every live data page carries a “struck” timestamp showing when its figure was last updated - a figure that cannot be struck is shown as unavailable rather than as a stale number.

How Tradergy makes money

Tradergy is funded solely by display advertising. It is not a lead-generation site: it never captures your details, never passes them to an advertiser, and never sells data. Advertising placements are always labelled, and editorial content - including any “how to choose” guide - is never influenced by advertising.

Independence and scope

Tradergy is an independent reference for the Australian-dollar market. It states values and explains how things work; it does not give financial advice, make recommendations, or predict where a rate or price is heading. See our disclaimer and about page.

Data use

The figures published on Tradergy are provided for personal reference. They are drawn from our market-data providers under licence, so they may not be redistributed, resold, scraped in bulk, or used to build or train a competing dataset or service. Quoting an individual figure with a link back to the page it came from is fine. If you need to use the data any other way - for research, a product, or a redistribution licence - contact us.
