    We currently support standard Kagi bars that use the close price. We also support these bars: Tick, Second, Minute, Day, Week, Month, Year, Bid/Ask, Heikin Ashi, Line Break, Momentum, P&F(C), P&F(HL), Range, Renko, Volume, Profile and Custom Bar Types scripts.

    All of these can be used for backtesting and automated trading, as well as for charting of course.

    Yes, the platform can do splits and dividends adjustments. The platform stores historical market data unadjusted but when you backtest you can call a function named DataSplitsDividendsAdjusted(true or false) and access both adjusted and unadjusted data. Data on the charts is automatically adjusted but this can be controlled from our Options window.

    Tried the free community edition but it doesn't seem to load even daily data. Is that the way it's supposed to work?

    Hi, Tickblaze Community Edition has full access to US stocks and ETF EOD data. You should be able to click the start button on any of our premade Desktops and data will be downloaded and the backtest will run. Please email us at support@tickblaze.com and we'll try to help you out.

  6. Does TickBlaze support Anaconda Python or only Python 3.6.8?

    Tickblaze currently supports standard Python 3.6.8, no other version is likely to work right.
    We're dependent on an open source library for integration with our C# platform and are monitoring their progress carefully. Once a new major version that supports .NET Core is available we will update to that. It will support a more modern Python version, but I'm not sure how it will work with Anaconda Python.

  8. Got it thanks, simple as downloading the Python 3.6.8 embedded zip file and adding a system environment path variable pointing to the directory.
