Of course as several have said, you need to have backups (preferably hot backups) so you have no down time and very limited risk, but it's impossible to eliminate risk. My big question is where's the line of people waiting to give any of these companies your profit when an outage or...

Doesn't IB conflate their data and not show all the actual prints? It may seem faster if they're not showing everything. I'm not positive and just going by what I've heard, but would also love to see a comparison to shed some light on this. I do run esignal and have IB as a broker, but have...

I've been alternating between 10.6 and 11 for a while now and have been able to successfully place trade orders in both versions. I've also changed and canceled orders in version 11 and the change in TWS was immediate. You may want to stick to small orders at first if you're worried, but I'm...

I use esignal and IB as well and have heard that they have a low priced feed called "on demand" that works with the fee waiver. It doesn't work for me because I trade more than the minis, but it sounds like it would be great for anyone that only trades the contracts that ndjeff7 trades. Low...

Doesn't look like it (yet?), but they haven't added all the window types yet and the new watch list looks like its a combo of quote, portfolio, and summary windows. I have a feeling it would be hard to support the current pages in this new format, but might be something they will work on when...

Have you looked at the new version yet? While it looks like there is a lot more for them to finish, this looks like a complete revamp of the application and I'm very impressed so far. Can't wait to see more versions of this come out. It's faster and slicker and much more intuitive. Cheers...

I've been running great all day. There was an exchange problem this morning with NYSE and AMEX delays, but nothing else today that I've noticed. Cheers, Paul

The username and password in the data manager only controls the real time data. To make sure you have it correct for all connections, go to File in the esignal application and then preferences, and then go to the connections tab. When you fix it there, it will work for all connections and send...

I have to disagree. I've been successfully using EFS to backtest and trade for years, and some of the new trading plugins and tools like trading directly from the DOM or chart are fantastic. Maybe I don't use anything heavy enough to cause performance problems, but I'd have to think you...

Are you sure you are applying a 5-day and 20-day MA or is it possible that you are applying a 5-period and 20-period MA? To add a 5-day and 20-day MA to an interval chart with an interval of something like 60-minute, you need to go to the EFS2 Custom folder under Formulas on the right click...

I use it with IB and have had great success. I'd been using the IB plugin for a long time and was using the order ticket until they added the account manager and trade manager windows recently. I just upgraded to 10.4 and started playing with the trading from the charts feature and think it's...

I've been rock solid today and all of last week. Cheers

I've been playing with the sorting now that I have all my symbols in a single page and I'm not seeing the problem you mention. When I sort on any field, the entire window sorts and then the symbols that are out of view hibernate. It's definitely not just sorting the ones in view. I don't...

I just upgraded and love this hibernation feature. I used to have to keep separate pages with my symbol lists to avoid going over my symbol limit. Now I can have them all in the same window and never even come close to my limit since I can only see about 50 symbols at a time. Also glad to...

Fine for me too. As far as I know, you have a chance to hit a different set of servers every time you shut down and restart esignal. There's no need to wait for any amount of time at all. It doesn't happen often to me, but I do occasionally have a problem with charts or news, and going...

I was on 10.1 and have recently moved to 10.2 and was very happy with each move. 10.1 was a huge difference and greatly improved my performance, and 10.2 was a little bit better still. I have to say that I too had 1 or 2 freezes, but it was more like a hiccup instead of a freeze. it was not...

I haven't had any of the old freezing since switching to the 10.1 release. The thing I like best is the way that time and sales doesn't try to pull in the whole day. It was a great change and allowed me to look at symbols like AIG without having to wait for the full day's data to fill in...

Not sure how many programs do this or if this is a good solution, but I've done something similar many times with eSignal. There are times I want to look at a contrary indicator on top of another symbol, so I need the contrary indicator to be in a reverse mode. I make it the negative of itself...

You should be able to do this in the 10.1 version. It looks like 1 of the speed improvements is that is requests less data initially for the charts which allow them to fill in quicker. If you use a time template and ask for a larger number of bars by default, you'll get them and then things...

I've been very happy with the newer version, but have never really had problems on the previous versions either. I use charts quite a bit and a lot of efs studies, but don't follow the minis to the level that many others here do and that seems to be where there were problems reported. I...
