Thanks for the ITService suggestion, I'll see what they have to offer. If I give up eSignal, I won't be too concerned about the other apps I have that use eSignal data, even though its the program, not the data that seems to be the problem. I use SWP only to get the equivalent of...

This thread took a few twists and turns, but in the end I may have found my answer..... that no hardware upgrades (i.e new video card) will improve the freeze ups or slow refreshes I'm experiencing. Hearing that you and others have the exact same issues with eSignal software sure points to that...

You could be right AAA. Both eSignal and StockWatchPro (SWP) use eSignal data. Yet in fast markets, eSignal's Time & Sales would often freeze, or move forward very erratically, while the T&S in SWP manages to keep up. Strange that a 3rd party app can use eSignal data better than eSignal. (I...

Other than Panda Internet Security, I have trading apps only... eSignal (67 windows), IB (3 windows), StockWatchPro (2 windows), and Medved Quotetracker (1 window). I also have a G450 dual card installed. I have a 2nd computer for all non trading apps... word processing, email etc. So it seems...

I have 2GB main memory ....in a 3GHz HT P4 Dell. I've never understood if/how main memory affected the video card and display performance. So when you say the number of open windows has nothing to do with video memory, that suggests: 1. that main memory (or paging) stores all the window data...

I have many overlapping charts (many stocks in multiple timeframes) such that I can see the last 15 bars in each time frame at once, or click any one chart to see ~100 bars. So with no overlaps, they might fill twice as many monitors, maybe more. And in some cases, the chart background color...

My G200 MMS quad video card has been working well for years. But now sometimes when I open a new window temporarily overtop of existing charts, the temporay window does not close all at once. Instead it closes in pieces (corresponding to the charts underneath). I'm wondering if the extra...

I downloaded the pdf, saved as a desktop icon, and have opened and closed a few times with no problems.

Hi Gnome. I thought so too - that 8MB is good enough. I've had a G200MMS quad and 32 MB AGP G450 dual running well together for years, and slowing worked up to having all dual input (analog/digital) LCD's. So the 4 LCD's on the G200MMS use digital input, but the two LCDs on the (analog only)...

Another good answer, thanks Jim. As I trade higher volume Nasdaq stocks using smart routing, it seems knowing destination would not be value added info in my case.

I have too many other eSignal charts and EFS's open I think, because often I can see IB BookTrader race ahead, and eSignal T&S is frozen or jumping ahead erratically. But in slower markets, they move together. I have two T&S windows in eSignal. In both I only look at last trade Price and...

Thanks for the suggestion, Jim. I'll take a look at it. Just to clarify.. I know eSignal has all kinds of display options for T&S, but I'd be surprised if eSignal has better or faster data than IB? Were the limitations you were referring to with regard to Quotetracker display options, or...

JimR - good move that you pursuaded IB to implement routing exclusions. So if smart routing with Amex excluded works well, then I'm happy to retract my Island only routing suggestion. (Now if only someone could pursuade IB to display real time Time & Sales - I'm having no luck at it)

I have been using eSignal for three years, but am debating whether to switch to TradeStation (TS). I am a Nasdaq stock day trader only (not futures or options or FX or foreign markets), and haven't held overnite for years. And though I will consider others, I typically trade a group of ~200...

I was getting a lot of orders stuck at Amex when I started trading ETF's thru IB. Say Amex was at the inside market was 20.42 x 20.44, I would sometimes place a buy limit order above the market, at 20.46. If IB auto-routed it to Amex, often it would sit with Amex for a 'long' while as other...

Hi, Has anyone with two computers had interference problems using two wireless keyboards/mice (wk/m) on the same desk, within 12 inches of each other? The receivers are 3 feet apart. I have a Logitech Mx Duo wk/m on one computer, and for a while had a Dell wk/m on the 2nd computer, and there...

Ok, but are the other options: 1. both eyes good for reading, or 2. both eyes good for distance which would then certainly require glasses for the option you didn't choose? My understanding was they could only laser treat any one eye to be optimimum for one of those conditions, but not...

Last time I looked into this, laser surgery made one eye perfect for distance, and another perfect for reading, so that most people will not have to wear glasses for routine daily activities. But for very fine work (such as threading a needle), or sports where accurate depth perception is a...

I can see a difference (digital vs analog) particularly with text. I have 19" digital Samsungs running off my Matrox G200MMS quad card, and newer 19" analog/digital Samsungs running off my analog G450 dual card. All monitors are next to each other. The analog text is not as clear as in the...

Any StockWatchPro (by Crontech) users? I use SWP with eSignal feed to monitor assorted intraday indicators (such as 60 min and daily stochastics both turning down together, or 5 min MACD Xing zero, or breaks above previous day, and day before, and week before highs/lows, etc). The program...
