Targeting next day turn around

If we’re missing a security that’s important to you, don’t be shy and request to data@fasttrack.net.

Send us any fund, ETF, stock or index and we will add it.

Database Basics

For mutual funds, we target including Investor and Institutional classes of all US funds available for sale.

As a default, we include all ETFs and listed US stocks that have a 90-day volume over a certain threshold. As of 7/25/19, that’s 2,250+ ETFs and 5,000+ stocks and ADRs.

Customer is Always Right

All that being said, if it’s important to you we’ll add it.

A long-time FastTracker sent us a list of his broker’s NTF symbols not in FastTrack. The list was an assortment of non-Investors and non-Institutional share classes totaling over 700 symbols. We turned those around the next day!

Don’t be shy. We target getting requests in by the next day, with many requests added the same day. Fire away!

Indexes, More Indexes!

FastTrack is expanding and improving our products and service.

We’re hard at work adding, removing, pruning, and editing the database. In 1988 we started with just over 100 tickers, we surpassed 22k last month.

Some Fun History

In 1989, FastTrack released our first database. We designed it to fit on a 40Mb hard drive and included 300 or so of the biggest mutual funds at the time. A typical users connected to our T1 server via a 1200 baud dial up modem and 800 number. (If you’re not aware or new to FastTrack, our FT4web product houses all data for the 17k+ tickers in our database on your local computer. )

Today, FastTrack includes, over 17k high quality funds, etfs, and stocks in the database and deliver our products over the HUGE pipes at Amazon AWS. We dividend adjusted all symbols with the highest quality data on the market. It literally cannot be found anywhere else.

The Future
