Trading Blox connects directly to these providers: enter your own API key once in Preferences → Data Sources, and download and update price data from the ribbon's Data Sources tools — no file conversion or third-party utilities. Trading Blox can also build futures dictionaries and portfolios automatically from the downloaded data.
Stocks, ETFs, and Forex — End of Day
End-of-day data for stocks, ETFs, and forex from eodhd.com, downloaded directly inside Trading Blox using symbols like AAPL.US. Includes dividend handling for correct long-term stock P&L, and one-click portfolio regeneration as your symbol list grows.
Stocks and Futures — Daily and Intraday
Stock and futures data from massive.com, with both daily and intraday bar sizes. The built-in Massive Picker searches tickers and futures roots (AAPL, ES), fills the futures dictionary automatically — contract sizes, tick values, descriptions — and downloads your cart in one pass.
These providers supply data files that are compatible with the Trading Blox™ engine.
CSI — Preferred End of Day Data Vendor
Provides Stock, ETF, Mutual Fund, Futures, and Forex DAILY data. Trading Blox will read the data files created by CSI without translation, so the process of updating data on a daily basis becomes a one-button, or automated, task. In addition, CSI provides the delivery month for futures, and the unadjusted close for stocks and futures. The unadjusted close is especially important for backtesting split-adjusted stock data. Trading Blox customers will receive the dividend data separately, so that the correct P&L can be computed for long-term trades, taking into consideration both stock splits and dividends.
If you order from CSI please be sure to inform them that you are a Trading Blox™ customer and use discount code TBLOX15 to receive a 15% discount on your first order.
