Major red signals

I signed up for free to evaluate its main drawcards, 'short interest' and 'trading signals'. Neither is accessible on this tier. Whats the point of offering a free tier if wont allow for it to be evaluated? The whole pricing structure signals a con to me. I am staying away from this timewaster.

Now forcing you to download app on mobile to use. I don't want another app. I just want it available on a website and with a better interface like their old, legacy interface. New bells and whistles are trash,

Ortex is hands down the best tool I use for trading. It gives me everything I need to follow companies and make the most informed decisions regarding fundamentals, short interest, trading signals, and analysis. It’s a must have in today’s environment

Does what it says on the tin

Very well priced platform with accurate data. Plenty of tools to use and screens to look through. I use them all the time and have never had any issues, will continue to use in the foreseeable future.

Ortex is a great system

Ortex is a great system and easy to use. There is so much information available and it has an accessible interface to allow you to find anything you need. The data is up to date and I find the short interest section particularly useful. As an area I look into a lot, I think it’s great that there are so many others aspects you can analyse along with that as with other systems I have used, it usually only focuses on one particular area so the breadth of information is brilliant. Would highly recommend.

Hi Jeff,
We regularly make iterative changes to our platform in order to try to bring more useful information to our customers. In the case of the changes that you’re presumably referring to, some restructuring of the Short Interest page was made to accommodate even more data - Interactive Broker Shares Available for short sellers to borrow, and two days of history for the Live Securities Lending Data. Since these changes went live on Friday, we have made some further changes to try to improve the layout, based on customer feedback. We have received both positive and negative feedback on the changes and will review this again once people have had a chance to get used to the current layout. We will also be adding a feedback facility into ORTEX to encourage people to give us their suggestions. We have emailed you in order to solicit any constructive feedback that you would be able to offer, as this would be very welcome.

Best wishes,
James

Great Improvements!

I have been really impressed with the improvements made on the new interface! It's great to see ORTEX expanding their offering - I'm especially excited for the new Options & Crypto data! There's an incredible amount of data sets for the price and the customer support have been extremely helpful in answering my questions. Keep up the good work

Don't Do It

I bought this service hoping for insight but it's horrible data. The SI (short interest) data isn't accurate. I've had the service for almost 8 months. The alpha trading signals are total and complete BS. Also, any alpha SI trades are so late to the party. It's like, yeah, here's you're trading signal from yesterday when the squeeze occurred, it's not going to happen again today dummy. The lagging build data on multiple screens. They run a pretty well played scam and for those that are serious about investing look elsewhere. I've never made a solid trade or a penny of this service which was close to 1k for annual.

POS hedge fund scam that works for hedge funds and purposely misreports data and always has excuses for the data being wrong.$500 a year for this POS scam. Reporting them to the SEC and AG for running a fraud racket with market maker hedge fund criminals.

Fantastic!

Fantastic software. So easy to use and whenever there’s something you don’t understand the help team are on hand to assist straight away. Incredibly helpful for my dissertation, as the data they provide is very insightful!

Absolutely terrible

Absolutely terrible, if you want to confidently lose money go with ortex. Their alpha signals are straight garbage and they even hook you in by giving multiple 8 out of 8 (100% correct) triggers. Honestly about every stock they recommend has gone down. I just got into stocks this year and have made an absolute killing. I decided to sign up with them and I haven’t traded in 3 months since because I’m just waiting for the stocks they told me to invest in to get remotely close to my average. Much better off doing my own dd and that applies to everyone. Trust pilot in itself is scammy as heck as they have many terrible scammy companies like this one that have 4-5 stars. Lots of fake reviews. Don’t trust Ortex, or trust pilot really.

Stay clear of it

Stay clear of it, i already cancelled my membership. I have also received notification it is cancelled and yet this scamming site try to deduct me four time over of 3 weeks now. Luckily i use temp prepaid credit card with 2 dollar remaining inside so they are bounced back by credit card company when they try to charge me 588.

To repeat please stay clear of it if you don’t want the hassle to get in touch with their customer service for refund after trial period

Nothing they provide is useful as its delayed or incorrect. Better off just burning your money before making investments off their data or lack there of. All the info is free on finra and cboe. They dont go the extra mile to get live ats data so whats the point.

Hi Josh,

All our data is live, or published as soon as it is released. If you refer to short interest, for example, the exchange released numbers, which the exchange (FINRA for OTC’s) publishes with an 8-days delay, we release this as soon as they are published; before this the data doesn’t exist. This, however, is where ORTEX offers something you don’t get elsewhere; Live Short Interest. Live Short Interest is updated live throughout the day and is based on securities lending. As you need to borrow a share to be able to short it, the securities lending data is highly indicative of the short interest in a stock.
If you would like a demonstration of the platform to better understand some of the data we offer, please just contact support.

Best wishes,
Peter

Ortex data have very poor accuracy

Ortex data have very poor accuracy. Check out BSQR SI: it was 19m yesterday. Today it is 5m. A sudden drop of 14m in one day. The whole day trading volume was only 3m. I am glad I cancelled before the trial ended.

Hello Zhehui,

The change in the BSQR Short Interest Estimate was not related to shares returned that day but rather a change in the estimate because the exchange released more information. As soon as more information is available our Short Interest Estimate model takes this into consideration.

BSQR is an interesting stock, and the short interest has been moving quickly and in patterns not seen before, this obviously makes it hard to estimate SI. Because of this we also provide other, non estimated data, such as how many shares are actually on loan in the company, how much it costs to borrow shares in the company, and how many of the available supply of lendable shares are currently borrowed. All of which are not estimates but is data directly from security lenders. You can read more about ORTEX Short Interest data here - https://public.ortex.com/ortex-short-interest-data/

Couldn’t believe how great of service I received..

Couldn’t believe how great of service I received from these guys! I just learned about ortex and had signed up for a years subscription but had something come up and not only did they take care of switching my account to a monthly one for now, they also did this all in the middle of the night the day before I was charged and I was very last minute to inform them. I love the platform and will continue to be a user!

Thanks ortex keep it up! And send some more trading signals for AMC! To the moon!!!

Great product, great technical support

I signed up for a 1 week trial initially and paid attention to the deadline. After that time, I wasn't sure if I wanted to pay for a full year at that point. So, they extended it by a week. I did end up purchasing the full product at the annual rate because of that extension.

I have been using the Trading Signals for about a month and have had good results (along with my own due diligence) vs the overall market. I did run into a minor issue with the user interface. But, technical support was terrific and responsive. I was up and running in no time with a work around.

This product is already a terrific value and provides a ton of useful information in a condensed, easy to process manner. I do feel that some minor "quirks" that I found in the user interface will be worked out soon. However, none of the issues that I found are showstoppers. As a longtime software developer myself, I can be kind of picky in that area. I honestly could not be much happier overall and I am thrilled to have found this product.
