Karen,
When will ZenFire be able to offer 90+ days of historic data for us swing traders?

 

NinjaTrader stores the ZF data as a courtesy to its users. Though they have more than 90 days of data, NT 6.5 makes it difficult to view. NT 7 does a much better job of making the data easy to access.
Do currently trade on Zen-Fire?
Shoot me an email at karen@zen-fire.com if you have any other questions.
Best,
Karen Bertoli

 

Hi,

Any chance to offer KSE feed for KOSPI futures.

No I don't because I'm primarily a Swing Trader. When I can get stability of longer term data, I'll test it.
Thanks for the responce.

 

I was very dissapointed with ninja trader. maybe it was just me. maybe not.

 

Hi there:

I'm sorry to hear about your dissappointment and would love to connect you with a support representative.
