So nobody is using eSignal here ? Just a simple copy/paste... Thanks

Yes, actually at many occasions I have found many and major differences with my IQFeed charts and other sources. I thought going with IQFeed would save me money but if the data is inaccurate I will have to use another possibly more expensive data provider.

It seems they have free real-time data also. How reliable is it ? Does it work with QuoteTracker ? Maybe someone tried them out...

I tried Laser many months ago and I was not impressed at all. It seemed like a very limited platform. Did they implement server-side stops ?

Here is my chart from IQFeed...

I would like to compare my 3-min chart of HANS for January 9th with various data providers. I would appreciate it if you could each put your chart down and specify your data provider. Also, if anyone has done some comparison tests, I would like to know about your results. Thanks ...

http://www.quotetracker.com/qsources.shtml It will work, but it will not be reliable. Trust me on that. I tried IB's data feed and it sucked also. I'm sure It will be the same if you use Scottrade's data feed. From QuoteTracker website (about Scottrade) : "Streaming quotes are OK...

You can use QuoteTracker (free), but I suggest you invest in a better data feed. I use IQFeed (20$/month) and I am very satisfied with it. Please send me a private message if you decide to go with IQFeed because I can get a credit for the referral. Thanks.

Unreliable data... I had the same problem a while back. Check out the post I started back them : http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=64639&highlight=unreliable+intraday I finally decided to go with Metasock Real-time with QuoteCenter because they have Reuters data...

Although they are required by law (in Canada anyways) to pay you for any type of training or tryout, it's not a good idea to ask if they will actually pay you if you don't get the job. By asking that question you are actually putting doubts in their heads about considering hiring you. You...

You need to disable the option which makes a copy of every email onto the server. In Outlook, go into Tools / Email Accounts, then View or change existing email accounts, Next, then select your email account in the list and click on Change then go into "More Settings...", then in Advanced...

You might want to check www.prophet.net. When you are a member, you can do a ProphetScan and specify the filters you want, like gap up/down and the size of the gap (%) from the previous day's high/low. I'm not 100% sure it works during pre-market but it might... You can also get a free trial.

I am not familiar with this method but it seems interesting. Could you elaborate a bit on this technique ? Did you back test it ? Cheers, I$land

Paccc : I didn't know they offered that. Is it an add-on service ? Thanks, I$land

syswizard : Thank you for the link but I only trade stocks. trader-rachel : QCollector + ESignal : just made some tests and I must say the results are not good. There are a lot of missing bars. I made a test program and here is the output for RIMM (May 2005 to Feb. 2006, 5 min...

Thank you all for all your inputs. stephencrowley : About limebrokerage and their API, how much software development was required ? The problem it seems you cannot get historical data but just current day data ? So getting 6 months of 5 min. bars from 20 companies would not be...

I downloaded historical intraday (1 min., 5 min.) data from both ESignal and Prophet.net. To my big surprise every stock had missing bars ! Sometimes 1 bar in a day but some other times more than 20 bars in a day ! By the way, I determined this using a script I wrote in Wealth-Lab. It is...
