I checked with BFD managers.
They say they have closed the service because of too high spam. Below is the exact response from BFD managers

Too high spam registration from Indian users made our foot back!

I am unable to see commodities and stocks again.
Why BFD is so unreliable?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
WTF is wrong with Indian users. seriously.
What they don't have spam filter .....:rofl:
Seriously that is nonsense there motive was diff...
They wanted to get some attention they got that ...
now they don't and people will move on to the alternatives ...
Nothing is going to change ....same old ... same old ...
They are far from being a paid providers...
If you give your service for free no body complains...
Once you start charging it is upside down baby...
I am ready to pay for any MT4 data provider..but it should have
1) Real time ticks data of NSE. I should get all the ticks that I am seeing in my NSE NOW terminal and not some of the ticks.
2) Scrip name should be same as NSE Naming scheme. I should not waste my time searching for scrips.
3) Should have at least 3 years History for all the scrips. 5 years is even better.
4) Should show accurate time stamp(IST) in the time axis.
5) Should show accurate Gap up or Gap down.
6) Should have no downtime at all. In case any required that should be 1 hr max downtime during off trading hours and in no way should affect trading users.
7) In case of minor data corruption it should fixed immediately in their server(within one day) and as soon as the user reloads their data they should get that data.
8) Option for Options Data chart for those who want. I can't have two data vendors just because one does not have options data.
9) Seamless migration of Futures instrument data when month expires.
10) Also choice for those to have all next months and far month expiry chart for each of the futures instrument.
The chart should have maximum 1 months data starting from day 1
And the list goes on ...
The less you charge the less is the expectation...
the more you charge the more is expectation...
