Features and limitations

Features

• Unfiltered tick data. Zen-Fire avoids dropping price data and sending only the latest updates – sometimes referred to as "filtering". Hereby, Zen-Fire keeps the prices current and provides a true look at how the markets are trading.
• High quality data for Futures.

Limitations

• Zen-Fire provides a very limited amount of historical data; historical tick data is only available for the current session, though minute date is available over a somewhat longer time span.

Zen-Fire brokers
