Overview

Data connections enable the platform to import historical and real time market data from various data providers. The platform supports the following data feeds: historical tick data (last, bid and ask), historical minute data, historical daily data (EOD), historical fundamentals data, streaming news data, streaming level 1 data and streaming level 2 data.

Each Desktop supports only one active data connection at a time but you can have multiple Desktops open at the same time, each with its own data connection.

For complete information on data and broker connections supported currently and those to be supported soon, review our summary on the Tickblaze website connections page: https://tickblaze.com/connections/.
