As I understand it, Tickblaze is being acquired/merged (?) by/with a comppany called Neurostreet/NSTrading Academy run by someone called Sean Kozak. This company and Kozak have a whole colorful history covered on nexusfi (formerly futures.io). Make up your own minds.

Started a monthly sub with TickerTrace yesterday to see what the scanner was like. At the moment my feedback is: Would NOT recommend Tickertrace. The scanner user interface is clunky and not at all easy to configure. Their support is non-existent. They don't respond to any "Talk to Us" messages...

With respect, there's a well known saying "If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys". There is a HUGE difference between writing a python script and an optimized low latency HFT algorithm which perhaps may involve assembly programming/multithreading etc...

Thanks taowave. Sounds like norgate is the answer for me - used them before.

Thanks. I was just looking on the by and by for a free way. I already had thought of using Norgate to download and scan their data. I had a feed with them a couple of years ago for delisted stocks but my offline data is out of date. Sounds like updating using their feed would be the way to go...

Thanks for replying. I have access to historical data from iqfeed (not offline) and ninjatrader but how do you search one year ago for all the stocks at the time that fit the criteria I mentioned? Ninjatrader only lets you look at the current stats and even then the scanner doesnt scan the whole...

Hi, Does anyone know of a free stock screener that lets you look at gapper stocks in the PAST using three simple criteria - average volume, close from previous day, ATR? Free Finviz is good but only for curent stocks. Not sure if the $$ version lets you screen historical data.. Thanks, Splat

When they don't even bother emailing back prospective customers, I would imagine after support to be atrocious. That's why I won't even come near them anymore. Good luck.

I got the following script from futures.io which may help: rem Developed by Christian Ejstrup and Bob Cometta. We hope that this will help all with NT 8 memory issues. rem Drop into your MyDocuments\NinjaTrader 8 folder and change from a .txt to a .bat file. rd /s /q "cache" md "cache" rd...

Has anyone tried this with say IQFeed and their API? Wondering about potential lag time?

Hi - thanks for your reply. I am wanting to use Activetick as a data feed into my real-time scanner. Trade-ideas has some limitations so I want to be able to design my own scans. Obviously I need to use a higher tiered developer data feed. I was therefore wanting some feedback. From what you say...

How are you guys finding Activetick in terms or reliability and accuracy?

A friend of mine was interested in starting an account with a prop firm called Tradenet which supposedly use a firm called TEFS. Does anyone know of or have any experience with Tradenet and especially TEFS?
