Trading Blox™ does not provide data for historical testing or order generation purposes. It is recommended that users of Trading Blox purchase their data from a data provider to research trading system performance and/or generate orders for real trading. Limited out of date courtesy data is made available to new customers for a limited time, for orientation purposes.
Here are some of the providers that have data that is compatible with the Trading Blox™ engine.
CSI Data
CSI – Preferred End of Day Data Vendor
Provides Stock, ETF, Mutual Fund, Futures, and Forex DAILY data. Trading Blox will read the data files created by CSI without translation, so the process of updating data on a daily basis becomes a one button, or automated task. In addition, CSI provides the delivery month for futures, and the unadjusted close for stocks and futures. The unadjusted close is especially important for backtesting split adjusted stock data. Trading Blox customers will receive the dividend data separately, so that the correct P&L can be computed for long term trades, taking into consideration both stock splits and dividends.
If you order from CSI please be sure to inform them that you are a Trading Blox™ customer and use discount code TBLOX15 to receive a 15% discount on your first order.
