Let me guess, long on a break of the 2:14pm 1-minute bar? :) I was in there too and out around 60's, made it worth hanging around through all the garbage during lunchtime!

My data just for CL is down both for eSignal and with my T4 connection, so it isn't just you!

Using the old opening indications on NYSE was my favorite old edge. There were always a handful of stocks everyday where you could get a couple thousand shares and flip them to the specialist for the opening NYSE print. I remember each options ex feeling like Xmas morning because there'd be...

I was trading then too and this is the only explanation I could find: http://www.zerohedge.com/article/fractal-algo-strikes-again-infect-crude-oil-trading

The WSJ in their story yesterday said that a special provision was written into the TARP language which let these bankrupt companies keep their tax break when they emerge from bankruptcy. Pretty sneaky.

I currently use IB as my broker and eSignal for my charting. I have the plug-in and connect to the IB API every morning with eSignal. This way I can trade my IB account off of my eSignal charts. The #1 reason why I have this setup though is for the CME fee waiver program. If I connect to the...

I believe that it's just for the futures but don't quote me on that since I don't trade options. Yes it does save me a ton of $$ in data fees since now I'm getting all the symbols that I trade basically for free. I'm not a huge fan at all of using eSignal to trade with so I just do a couple...

I've never heard of the "on demand" feed, maybe I'll check it out later. The fee waiver has definitely been great for me. The only contract that I'd watch that I can't get with it is the TF. I get all the interest rate and ag products with it as well, so it's not just minis.

I use eSignal for my data feed and charting and trade through IB. So I just get the waiver through eSignal and make sure that I connect to IB through the API and make a couple of my trades per month through IB on the eSignal platform. The waiver program has definitely saved me a ton of dough...

Yup, pissing me off too as I also have it up next to eSignal. It's also really annoying that they won't just admit that their mandatory software upgrade is what is making these issues worse.

Is anyone back up and running? I've still been having issues all morning.

That's how I first noticed too. I had my DOM from the other broker on top of my OEC chart and they were way off.

Ditto. I went months and months without any issues and then as soon as I switched versions yesterday it was a total disaster. It's too bad because the charts on OEC is what I like best.

Yup, very annoying. Mine still says I'm connected but my data has been frozen for the past 15 minutes. It just annoyed me that the online rep I talked to was such a dick when I said that the software change was the issue.

This is crazy, my data and charts are still lagging way behind this morning, and that's when they're even working at all! I talked to a rep and asked him about going back to the old version of the software and he said the software is fine. Clearly he isn't in front of a computer trying to trade...

I had some pretty bad lag at the open with NYSE data but globex and nasdaq all seemed fine the whole time. I'm also running 8.0 still.

Hey there, I really enjoy reading your journal everyday as I trade equities as well. I'm not sure if you know, but DNA has been the subject of an attempted takeover and odds are that they are looking for a higher bid. Just an FYI in case you didn't know!

I'm in the New Bern area, bout an hour and a half north of Wilmington. I relocated here from Chicago a little over a year ago and just trade from home instead of the office. Shoot me a PM if you want. Jeff

Moved to coastal Carolina last year and it's definitely much hotter than I even expected. Good thing there's a breeze all the time off the ocean or else I wouldn't be able to take it. Anyway, it's a nice place to live if you enjoy outdoor activities/beaches and the cost of living is dirt cheap...

I've also had huge issues with today being the worst with lagging data on equities as well as index futures. I went to check out the eSignal forum for any solutions and wasn't too encouraged to read this: http://forum.esignalcentral.com/showthread.php?threadid=26223 Looks like I might...
