eSignal - Doesn't anyone use it for NYSE?

I have been also looking for NYSE only charts. For some reason when there is all the ECN's in the charts there are many bad ticks that make it more confusing.

Thanks,

bundlemaker,

apparently you don't use exchange filtered symbols. Type the following symbol into a daily chart window, advanced or regular - IBM=N. You will find that eSignal does not provide daily chart data for this symbol. I use exchange filtered symbols (add "=N" to the base symbol) because it removes all of the ECN and regional exchange trades. These trades are the source of 99.9% of all bad ticks, and just noise up my charts and data.

I agree 100%, I have the same problem. I want to trade off nyse filtered data, but if I want a daily chart, I have to use all the ecn prints which I don't want.

Esignal, please fix this.

Also please fix the problem where you can't input a number into a spread. This makes your product useless for many merger arbitrage deals and is one of the main reasons why I can't discontinue my qcharts subscription.

Agree on both issues. Thanks Slave2Market for bringing this up.

:cool:
 
I second, third and fourth the motion.

We need "=N" daily charts.

As a general observation, the amount of bad ticks and data coming from these services is astounding. How can anybody use scans and filters in a meaningful way with all the bad ticks.

I would be very happy to subscribe to any service that would scrub the data and deliver "good" ticks only. Shouldn't be that hard, any tick that is grossly out of the norm from the rest should be simply dropped. Probably wouldn't cost more than 1/4 second to do this.

My $.02 worth
 
In the past I know that some the firms or software do let you filter out the bad ticks. I do not remember which ones. Additionally a guy who traded in my office two years ago has spent a great deal of time designing software that scans and charts and does everything he always wanted. He should be releasing it soon I will let you know when it is ready for prime time. I have seen the beta product and used it. It was interesting and improving but plagued by bad ticks so that is why they are working on the filter. There goal is to allow the trader to change the settings of what is filtered if the trader so desires.

I do not think that is orginal to them though so keep looking.

I really hope so because i friend of mine who trades has called about it various times and they told him that not in a million years they would do it because nobody cares for such a feature.

I really hope this can be available soon.

thanks,
