Tickblaze

Tickblaze is a multi-asset trading technology provider, founded in 2018 and based in Ottawa, Canada, that supplies prop firms, brokers, and funds with a trading platform, an order management system, and a CRM. It publicly launched its platform in November 2024 and expanded into the full three-part stack in November 2025.

"The prop industry is fragmented and inefficient," said Sean Kozak, Tickblaze's CEO, describing the reasoning behind bundling the platform, OMS, and CRM under one vendor rather than three. Tickblaze holds direct data distribution licenses from CME Group and Nasdaq, and sells its stack grey-label, meaning firms brand it as their own while Tickblaze runs the underlying technology.

Tickblaze serves three buyer types differently. Prop trading firms, whether launching new or migrating an established operation, get the full platform, OMS, and CRM package. Retail brokers and crypto exchanges can license the trading platform on its own, without the prop-specific CRM. Family offices and hedge funds get the platform plus a separate quant-focused offering. Tickblaze names prop firms and traders as its primary vertical, with brokers and funds as a secondary market.

Tickblaze runs four trader-facing surfaces on one account: a Discretionary Desktop with Level 2 depth of market and 200+ built-in indicators, a Strategy Desktop for C# and Python backtesting, a browser-based WebTrader on TradingView charts (launched May 5, 2026), and a native iOS and Android mobile app with live sync to desktop and web.

As of August 2026, Tickblaze also runs Sterling OMS 360 from Sterling Trading Tech alongside its own Ignite Connect engine, added in May 2026. Public materials around a client firm's move into equities suggest Sterling handles equities-specific margin rules (Reg T, Portfolio Margin), which don't apply to futures, while Ignite Connect covers core multi-asset execution, a reasonable read of two Tickblaze technologies working together, worth confirming directly if the exact division matters for your asset mix.

Tickblaze's deepest feature set is built natively for its own platform first. It also supports integration with MT4, MT5, cTrader, DXtrade, TradeLocker, Match-Trader, Quantower, NinjaTrader, ATAS, Rithmic, and CQG, available on request for firms that want to keep an existing platform while adding Tickblaze's backend technology.

Tickblaze is a licensed direct distributor for CME Group and Nasdaq market data, and connects to a broad set of liquidity, payment, and business tools.

As of August 2026, Tickblaze states the following commercial terms directly to FundedTrading. Its public pricing page routes B2B inquiries to a custom quote rather than listing these figures openly.

Tickblaze frames its pricing around being a licensed Vendor of Record for CME and Nasdaq data, saying this lets it pass data cost savings to partner firms rather than stacking data fees on top of platform fees.

Tickblaze states a go-live timeline under 30 days for both new launches and migrations, with a dedicated onboarding manager and technical implementation support included. Support runs through email, phone, and a dedicated Slack channel with the Tickblaze team, with an average first-response SLA under one hour.

Tickblaze runs on AWS with redundancy across the US, EU, and Canada, in SOC 2 compliant accounts with controls mapped to ISO 27001 and NIST, and encrypts data in transit with TLS 1.3 and certificate pinning on the desktop client. Every order, fill, reject, and risk event is logged to immutable storage with full session replay, covering the audit trail an operator needs for a compliance review or trader dispute.

Tickblaze describes its uptime approach as following standard industry policy without publishing a specific percentage, and doesn't list a SOC 2 report type or auditor name on its site. Ask for documentation directly if a contractual uptime figure or a completed certification report matters for your compliance requirements.

On traction, Tickblaze says it currently onboards roughly two new firms per month, with four fully deployed and ten more in due diligence.

Tickblaze offers grey-label branding, with the CRM designed to run bundled with the Tickblaze trading platform rather than as a standalone white-label product. Within that, it supports custom challenge rules and account logic with no stated limitations, custom email and notification templates, multiple account types, custom reporting dashboards, and API access for further integration. It doesn't offer source code access or on-premise deployment, and says partners can request roadmap influence for features that fit its direction.

Tickblaze lists seven named prop firm partners on its own site, the strongest trust signal in this category since each is independently verifiable.

Tickblaze's own tagline is "Launch Or Migrate A Prop Firm In Less Than 30 Days." It describes itself as a turnkey provider of platform, CRM, data, and OMS technology for firms looking to consolidate vendors and reduce cost, and names defragmentation and cost as the core problem it solves.

Recent updates include the WebTrader launch and a new CRM Risk Suite for operators. On its roadmap, Tickblaze says it's extending its mobile app with TradingView and exploring AI-assisted tools for traders and risk teams, both unreleased as of this review.

Operators comparing Tickblaze are typically weighing a full-stack vendor against platform-only providers that expect the firm to bring its own CRM, risk engine, and data feed.

DXtrade and TradeLocker are widely used as front ends in the forex and CFD prop segment, but neither ships a native OMS or CRM the way Tickblaze does. The trade-off is a bigger commitment to one vendor in exchange for fewer integration points to manage.

Tickblaze is a well-supported full-stack option for operators who want platform, OMS, and CRM under one vendor, backed by direct CME and Nasdaq data licensing, a confirmed pricing structure, and a growing, verifiable list of live prop firm clients. Confirm the OMS division and copier roadmap directly with their team as part of normal due diligence, the same way you would with any infrastructure vendor.
