Aggregated CTA and stock buyback desk data feeds

Hi All, I'm assuming this subforum is more appropriate for the question than the Trading sub, but maybe a mod can move it if not.

I'm looking for a timely (not real-time, but not 2 weeks old) data feed which covers several sources of CTA and stock buyback activity projections (price thresholds where certain funds' buy/sell algos get triggered, how much to buy/sell, etc, and preferably, something which costs under $1,200/mo. I've seen Exante, but price is high. I've seen some data from BarclayHedge, Morgan Stanley QDS, NilssonHedge, but nothing aggregated across the several CTA firms.

Zero Hedge reports on this stuff a lot, and their data comes from Goldman and Nomura. I'm not institutional, though.

Any pointers?

Equity Research Full Resume Review

“wilson was an excellent mentor throughout the entire resume review process and i genuinely appreciated the time and effort he put into helping me improve my application. what stood out most was how thorough and attentive he was in understanding my background and making sure my experiences were accurately represented. he went beyond simply editing my resume by asking thoughtful questions and helping me identify ways to better communicate my accomplishments. in particular he helped me articulate the experience of building and selling my own business to a search fund and understand how to position that experience as a differentiator when applying to investment banking and private equity roles. he also provided practical advice on how to approach interviews and communicate my experience effectively. i especially appreciated his patience, responsiveness, and willingness to go back and forth until every detail was right. he was genuinely personable throughout the process and made what could have been a fairly straightforward resume review feel like a much more valuable mentorship experience. i am very grateful for his help and would highly recommend working with him to anyone going through the wso academy program.”
