Tick,

What are Range Bars?

Will TICKCOM work with other data feeds or only interactive Brokers?

Grant.

Hi Grant,

Range Bars are bars with a fixed height, for example a Range 3 bar is 3 tick high. Range Bars catch fast price movements, while Time Bars catch sideways trading. Disadvantage of Range Bars is that they dont catch side ways trading, and Time Bars dont catch fast drops in price. Thus combining the two, eliminates the disadvantages and gives up to 50% more descriptive bars - which affects the underlaying technical indicators, providing a new "picture" of the price movement.

TickTrader uses today only IB - simply because its the only provider today of both low commissions and a API for operational nonattended automated trading ( that I know about). You may find other API´s, but the dont have backfilling or miss other critical functionality for unattended automated trading. However, if other brokers launch API´s useable for automated unattended trading in the future, we will include those as well.

Hello Tick,

Thank you for the clarification.

I'll keep watching your site for further product development and potential links with other brokers/vendors.

Good luck for the future.
