Our recommended market data feed

Kinetick

Kinetick® delivers reliable, fast and cost-effective market data to help level the playing field for active traders. Take advantage of unfiltered, real time quotes for stocks, futures and forex that exceed the expectations of the world’s most demanding traders, like us!

Get started with FREE end-of-day historical market data directly through the NinjaTrader® platform and learn how you can significantly reduce CME Group Globex exchange fees on real-time market data with Kinetick®.

An automated strategy is only as good as the data feeding it, and a strategy that acts on hourly bars needs those bars to be complete and to arrive on time. Heptane needs a live feed covering the instrument you intend to trade: real time data for NQ or MNQ, running for the whole session you want the strategy active.

Our relationship

We write software that runs inside their platform, and that is the whole of it. They have not reviewed our strategy for suitability, they do not stand behind its results, and nothing on this site should be read as coming from them. The wording NinjaTrader® require us to publish on the point is at the foot of this page.

Silex Strategies is a member of the NinjaTrader Ecosystem. We may earn a referral fee when you open an account through the NinjaTrader® or Kinetick® links on this site, at no additional cost to you. We recommend both because Heptane is built for them, not because of the fee.

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN; IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT TRADING RESULTS.
