I don't use MM, but I can tell you that the work Chris (the creator of the efs) has done is amazing. I would be very surprised give the level of effort and detail he does if he han't tested it rigorously. On the off chance anyone does find a problem with his formula, I am also pretty sure he...

I don't believe there is at this time. G

Different people will see different results depending on internet delay (which can be huge in some cases). In fact, I have seen differneces of over a second on some feeds by just switching ISP's. This and backbone outages is one reason I recommend traders keep two ISP's which each sit on...

Yes. A formula to do this was posted to the eSignal group a while ago. G

MS has been around a LONG time. So it has a lot of users. I used to use it, and liked it. It has some nice o-o features that allowed you to treat indicators as objects, pretty nifty. There are also a LOT of custom indicators writen by the user base. The downside? Well when I used it (a...

Third party tools: http://www.esignal.com/partners/software/default.asp But no Jurik info for some reason...odd that. However go to: http://www.jurikres.com/products/new_prod.htm#rtt For info on Jurik on eSignal. G

Not legally. You need one datafeed for each device. These are exchange rules, all data vendors seem to follow their lead, although it would be possible for one of these vendors to offer additional feeds by just paying additional exchange fee's. But none of them do (at least none that I...

Let me caveat all this by saying YMMV. >Does it run under XP? Yes, many people are doing this. I prefer W2K, so I am not. >Does the application freeze or lock-up? Or is it >buggy? I had problems with freezing...getting one every day or two. I got an early access to a fix a...

If you have saved the layout and set it up as the default, toolbars SHOULD come up right every time. If after doing this they don't, then I think it is a bug.

In my experience it isn't all that bad...certainly not even close to everyday or even every week for any one security/future. G

I did see something posted by someone at eSignal that said they were going to improve the filtering they do. I don't recall the specifics. I think it was something like "in a future release we will improve our tick filtering."...so it was pretty vague. G

I think qcharts keeps it back to 85 or so. One year of data is enough to help traders with issue #1 in my list, and is what I would consider a bare minimum to support real backtesting for intraday data. I think 5-8 years is the minumum that is needed for #2. And of course, more is...

Hey Matt, >There was a big ol' post by Garth on this forum You saying I run off at the mouth (uh...keyboard)? Not that I would disagree, but just wanted to check ;-) G

Hotlists is a great idea, and one could imagine that is "quotesheets" are done right, hotlists would be easy to not only create youself, but if esigal could easily provide prebuilt ones for common lists. And I totally agree with more historical data for intraday data. There are two issues...

The Doc's are a bit light, but getting better. And examples to abound. WRT slowness, I have found that most formula's load fairly quickly, but I did have a few that loaded REALLY slowly. I started a dialog with Matt and found out some details of formula's calling other formula's that I...
