Been using Bloomberg. Need something new. eSignal?

I've been using bloomberg the last few weeks going an internship, but I can't afford that when I go back to university. I'm addicted to having decades of past info on futures, commodities and stocks though

Does eSignal have all of that? Is it any good? Can you suggest something like that is good and no ridiculously over priced?
 
eSignal doesn't have too much historical data. i believe your best option would be TradeStation. they offer the platform for free if you do certain amount of volume (not that much actually), and anyway the monthly price seems quite fair.

i personally use esignal and happy with it (most of the time), however if you want historical data, as i said, TS is the place to go.

I think esignal have pretty long intraday historical data, something like 60 days tick, 120 days minute, 10 year daily.
 
That's not pretty long for intraday testing

Tradestation has longest intraday data of all cheap data vendors, they plan to add historical fundmental data next quarter, ofcourse behind of thier planned release date
 
If you're addicted to Bloomberg, fine.

From eSignal itself in response to the question about how much data they carry:

"10 days of Tick, 120 days of Interval and 10 years of Daily History is stored on our Servers"

In other words, not too much for analytical purposes.
