Hi @petrz. Thank you very much for so detailed answer. I really appreciate it. Few, comments, if I may: That's what I meant by "adjusting the code for every option" That is very valuable insight. I am glad that I didn't have to learn it the hard way Oh, I didn't think of that. Sounds like a great tool in the exploratory search for the edge indeed! And, again, I am the most grateful for all the great inisghts provided. That helped a ton. Can't thank you enough
Hello everyone, Would appreciate an advise on using IQFeed data for backtesting in Tickblaze. As far as I am aware, IQFeed split-adjusts daily bars but does not do so for intraday prices. The problem is that, if I run a backtest based on minute prices, and the strategy can hold positions overnight - the positions get exposed to abrupt spikes and plunges in prices due to splits and reverse splits. The way I see it is that IQFeed price data can not be reliably used for backtesting swing strategies based on intraday prices in Tickblaze. Of course, one can do that based on daily bars, but it doesn't always fit the strategy under the backtest. Am I missing something? Is there a workaround for the problem?
Whenever I saw that happen with IQFeed and intraday prices previously we reached out to them and they fixed it.
Thank you. I was under impression that it worked this way by design. Also, sent them an email asking "Does IQFeed have any plans on split-adjusting intraday price data?", and here is what they replied: But if you say that they used to resolve such issues, will definitely give it a go
@Tickblaze I have sent numerous emails to your support, since about a week back, and not one single reply from anyone, Is anyone reading the support emails ? or something happened with your company ? I hope not since I like your platform.
Tickblaze has been acquired by NeuroStreet. Curious what that means for the product. https://www.youtube.com/@Neurostreet
Daniel from Tickblaze canceled their Vendor Account here in November because of the Tickblaze acquisition. He said it was up to the new management to reinstate their Vendor account, which they have not done so yet. So nobody from Tickblaze will be participating here until they sign back up. The fact that others are reporting that their support email address is not responding back in a timely manner is not a good sign.
I got word over the weekend they are now responding to support inquiries. Will see how it goes from here.
They are now going to raise prices to close to 200usd per month for their platform.. so about 100% price increase for existing clients.. not looking like a great deal for sure.
