I grabbed the 10.1 version on Friday and have been trying all kinds of things over the weekend and into today's open, and it's much better than 10.0 by far. I can finally do some of the things I gave up on when leaving the 8.x versions and it seems just as fast as it was back then. People...

My question is more about the chat posted. Is this a support group at TradeStation or TS Support? My understanding is that TS Support was a completely separate group from TradeStation and the originators of MultiCharts. They worked on easy language and esignal's EFS then split into 2 groups...

Akeyla, I'd love to see it all on the same screen too, but the last time I asked was told that they were being stopped from doing it because of a patent. I don't think this has changed since the last release. Cheers, Paul

I believe that one of the esignal 3rd party developers, Chris Kryza, has created both of these indicators in EFS. http://share.esignal.com/groupcontents.jsp?folder=Gator&groupid=114 I've never used these specific studies, but have used other things Chris has created and have always been...

For the most part, I'm fine with tick charts, but it's been getting a little slower pulling in the data as the market has been growing. I've heard that the number of ticks from the exchanges on the heavily traded symbol is actually doubling or more every year, so I can accept that the tick...

I don't think that the raw data you get with a data only package will be able to get you what you want from esignal, but they do offer back adjustment in the esignal application. There's a continuous contract settings tool which allows me to create rules for rolls and there's a box I can check...

I use esignal for data and IB for trades. I also have an E-Trade account as a backup, but haven't needed to use it in a while. I'm just doing equities and options right now, but thinking about getting into the minis this year. Cheers, Paul

I believe you can get up to 10 days of volume bars or any of the other intervals based on tick data. You can use a time template that is specific for volume bars to make sure you get the amount you want. You can leave it as Auto for the times, but make a user defined interval with V as the...

There's a DDE tool that comes with esignal, but you need to launch it from the start menu. Go to Start, Programs, and find your esignal folder. There should be an Excel sample selection which will launch Excel with a 5 button toolbar. The first button opens a sample file with some tabs that...

I've been fine so far all day and haven't heard of any problems today. Cheers, Paul

If you haven't done so, set up a time template that requests more than 1 day. I have a 5 day template that I do a user defined interval with the interval being T. I set the number of days to 5 and then apply that interval to the chart. By defining a special setting for T in the template, all...

I don't know how true it is, but I've heard that you should alter the colors on a regular basis to give your eyes a change of pace. I still use reds and greens for my bars, but go in and adjust the shades a little on a weekly basis. I tend to stick to the lighter colors for backgrounds and...

Looks like real time data, but as a snapshot every 6 to 12 seconds. Should be fine for looking at trend in a chart or just as extra information, but not something to trade the future contract off of. Cheers, Paul

But do you get individual quote updates or just the current inside quote when a trade happens? Each example has included a trade/quote on a single line. Just curious... Cheers

I can't speak to cheaper or not, but I've been running esignal for years without ever crashing. One of the reasons I've never left is because I have so much invested in their EFS studies and many of the less expensive competitors don't have all the extras I like such as market profile, depth...

I don't see this in my column choices in esignal, but it may be coming eventually now that the same company owns esignal and qcharts. Cheers, Paul

I'd love to see some published numbers showing that. I think DTN's only big user base is their ag product and in that case you're not comparing apples to apples. I think esignal has the bigger active trader count, but it would be great to see some numbers if anyone has them. Cheers, Paul

Thank you for the feedback, but it looks like they don't have the depth service I need for my style of trading. I'll stick with esignal for now. Cheers, Paul

So, getting away from the very tired complaints you have about support and the fact they cut you off, what does ProphetX offer me that eSignal lacks? This is a serious question because I'm always looking for the best product I can get. Things I use in eSignal are: Charts with formula...

If you only need to follow the minis and not any of the pit contracts on the CME or other Globex contracts, then you only need the mini package at $23. If you also want to follow the other Globex contracts which include the weather contracts and a lot of the odd currency contracts, then it's...
