Question 1

Is Bufflo’s market data real-time?

Accepted Answer

Yes on the Trader and Premium plans: US stocks and futures stream in real time through pre-market, regular hours, and after-hours. On Starter they refresh every 5 seconds, and on Free every 15 seconds. Crypto and FX are real-time on every plan. Exchanges and data providers can occasionally delay or correct data.

Question 2

Is Bufflo free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Free plan costs $0 and includes 1 workspace, 3 widgets, 1 built-in screener, and 5 price alerts, with stocks and futures refreshing every 15 seconds. Paid plans are Starter (US$9.99 a month), Trader (US$19.99 a month), and Premium (US$49.99 a month). Eligible traders can try a paid plan free for 14 days without adding a payment method; if you add one, the plan renews monthly until you cancel.

Question 3

Does Bufflo work in the pre-market and after-hours?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bufflo covers the full US session: pre-market from 4:00 a.m. ET, regular hours from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and after-hours until 8:00 p.m. Gappers, top gainers and losers, and your scanners update through every session, so you can track pre-market movers before the open.

Question 4

Can I scan for low float, relative volume, gaps, and news?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and for almost any condition you can describe. Combine price, percent change, volume, relative volume, float, gap size, VWAP, news, halts, and more in one screener. For example: “US stocks gapping up 10% with relative volume above 5, float under 20M, and news today.” Custom screeners are on the Trader plan (2 running at once) and Premium (5).

Question 5

Do I need to code to build a scanner or strategy?

Accepted Answer

No. Describe the filter or setup in plain English, however specific, and Bufflo AI builds it as a screener, alert, chart indicator, or backtest, with rules you can see and change. You can also paste a TradingView Pine Script indicator and get a native BuffloChart version.

Question 6

Can I backtest a setup before I trade it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on every plan, including Free. Describe your entry, exit, stop-loss, and profit target in plain English, choose the tickers and timeframe, and add your commission and fee assumptions. Bufflo lists every simulated trade, along with net P&L after costs, win rate, and profit factor. Backtests are hypothetical and don’t predict future results.

Question 7

How do Bufflo alerts reach me?

Accepted Answer

Alerts fire in the browser with sound and as push notifications on your phone, and every trigger is logged. You can combine any conditions you describe, such as price, VWAP, relative volume, and news, and add a re-arm rule so an alert waits for a reset before it can fire again. Free includes 5 price alerts; paid plans add advanced alerts.
