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.
