A month free, or I'm leaving the family
*disfunctionaly... eSignal family that is*Esignal Person:
Do you have any idea that the money you are costing EACH trader is many multiples what we pay for your service per month?
What is going to be done to address this? Traders are going to adjust quickly to find alternatives.
I'm looking forward to having my esignal up tomorrow without further delay.

I am always amused at the range of comments from the fantasy traders.
As many of you know I am retired (recently), but I am pretty sure that in my office today, they are still using CQG as the primary feed, Esignal as backup, and until recently Qcharts as a third alternative.
I think the idea that a trader needs to be adequately capitalized is correct, however I am skeptical that a number can be pulled out of the air. Frankly the minimum level of capitalization depends on the market the kind of edge the trader has, and the strategy.
For retail traders a good rule of thumb is to backtest, obtain your max drawdown figure and double it. better yet, if you can put a monte carlo engine to work on the problem you will find it worth the effort as it will produce a more accurate figure than a standardized retail product like Tradestation.
Good luck

What does this post have to do with esignal being out? I'm a daytrader and need the data. Additionally, I've had formulas written for it that won't interface with other charting packages.
I'd agree....it becomes very, very costly....even with back-ups, as you're likely biased to a primary provider's set-up.
Every time there is an "incident" of this magnitude....esignal is handing money to competitors.
I'll be checking out CQG for a new primary provider. I've got 3-4 back-up providers currently, but not fully set-up. I guess it's time to be fully redundant and cut the waste.
