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
The following brokers provide the Zen-Fire data feed:
- AMP Futures,
- Mirus Futures,
- Optimus Futures.
Zen-Fire trail (demo)
A Zen-Fire trail to test the data feed yourself can be achieved through one of the supporting brokers or through (LINK HERE). The trail has no limitations but will expire after a specified amount of time (two to three weeks).
Note that the Zen-Fire demo for NinjaTrader also works on MultiCharts, as long as you have a Zen-Fire username and accompanying password.
