TickBlaze is a versatile, institutional-grade trading platform originally built for professional trading firms and hedge funds — now available to retail futures traders. Its defining feature is its hybrid architecture: it seamlessly integrates both discretionary and automated trading in a single platform, with four distinct interfaces that work together as one unified ecosystem.
TickBlaze is broker-neutral, meaning you can connect it to your preferred routing solution. At Discount Trading, TickBlaze connects to Rithmic — giving you access to ultra-low day trading margins, competitive commissions, and professional-grade order routing alongside TickBlaze's advanced trading tools.
The Standard Desktop is designed for discretionary traders who want a powerful, intuitive trading environment. It features a custom user interface, flexible chart trading, DOM trading, Time & Sales, watchlists, scanning, alerts, and a library of 200+ built-in indicators. Trade management strategies allow you to automate basic exit and risk management without writing code.
The Strategy Desktop is TickBlaze's professional strategy development environment. Supporting both C# and Python, it allows traders to build, backtest, optimize, and execute complex automated trading strategies. Portfolio-level backtesting runs across multiple symbols, exchanges, and time zones with over 70 performance metrics for detailed strategy evaluation.
TickBlaze's web trading platform is a sleek, browser-based solution compatible with both Mac and PC — no download or installation required. It features TradingView's advanced charting library, DOM trading, Trade Pad, custom watchlists, and seamless order management.
Available for iOS and Android, the TickBlaze mobile app delivers the same TradingView charting engine as the web platform with full gesture control, multi-timeframe support, 100+ built-in indicators, and automatic synchronization with desktop and web setups.
