LMFAO, I just read that, almost missed it.

You are a genious!!!

But, on a professional level:

I completely agree with that statement.
 
Didn't IB think it was a DoS attack a few weeks ago, then realize it was just everybody trying to log back in? Maybe this is the same thing.

No you don't. You are a failed linebacker. You live in a tiny appartment which you hardly ever leave. You are glued to your screen 12hrs a day. You haven't been laid in a while. You are addicted to porn. And you can't get any sleep.

ahem.... you said you have a life?

quit bitching kid.

Nearly 9 posts per day? Retardondo. Why don't you spend less time on ET and more time directing your minions at your Investment Bank. Fcuk, I feel dirty even joking about that last comment.
 
I'm happy they "...continue to put full attention on the matter. ..."

Lets see, none of your customers are getting what they pay for and esignal rep has to say that?

Dang, customers can sure ruin a good day!



Quote from JayF_eSignal:

We have repointed many of the connections to our back-up centers "co-locations", and last sale data is beginning to flow through those locations. If you are receiving last sale data, we suggest not trying to restart eSignal until further notice (i.e. once everything is stabilized.)

Our two primary data centers continue to be affected by the DoS attack, and our network engineering staff continue to put full attention on the matter.

Sure I would appreciate a little help. right now i'm thinking I'll just get CQG. Will that solve the problem?

OK, here's my setup which works for me. Is it the 'best' combination? I doubt it, but when things happen, this is what I've muddled around to.


My main trading stuff is a Dell Inspiron 8600 running Esignal, Ninjatrader running on top of Man Financial. I don't scalp much so the charts on the 1920 x 1200 screen resolution is fine for me.

I have Tradestation as my backup chart vendor as well as my backup broker. I also have IB just in case, plus it's my long term trading account. TS has a deal that with 10 RT's of futures a month, the software is free. So, beginning of every month, I do an intraday trade of 5 YM's or ES's or whatever that satisfies my monthly nut with TS.

This is running on an AT&T Elite DSL package.

The backup to all this is my Dell PC with two 17" flat panels. Software/chart layout/etc is all duplicated from the laptop.

I also have Comcast's cable modem service.

Both the laptop and PC have two NIC's that are connected to each internet service, but with only one NIC enabled. If the DSL dies, I simply disable the NIC connected there and enable the other one, turning on the Comcast. I'm usually back up within 30 seconds. I've tried dual WAN routers before that would do that for me and I never got them to work reliably.

In addition to all this, my laptop is also connected via the phone line with dial up access that I get free with my SBC DSL service.

I also have a piece of paper next to me with my broker's phone numbers as well as account numbers in case everything goes to hell and I need to make a manual call to bail out of a position.

All in all, these things cost me maybe $250 a month for the two charting packages and brokers plus data feeds.

It works for me.

My coach would have said to stktrdr after that:

"Holy ^@^! you just got knocked the f**k down kid!!!" *Then he would laugh a lot* :D

I would say:

"Daaaaaaaaayum, you just got burnt on that one" *Then I would laugh a lot*

thanks riskarb, didn't notice that.

In all seriousness, I feel eSignal's pain. I'm laughing so hard at what risk just said, and laughing so hard that eSignal is screwed up.

This all is costing me money, but it's just so hilarious to happen today.

I'd go outside and get my life back, but we are expecting severe thunderstorms here on the east coast :)
