eSignal RAISING FEE'S AGAIN!!?!?? WTF

i tried messing with hyperorder before but can't stand it. there are no instructions to do anything and the support is unresponsive in the forums. i could not get it to work.

does the tssupport adapter integrate really well? i do not want to have to fix this and that all the time.

where can i find information on how to build your own adapter to connect datafeeds into TS2000i?


Quote from Equalizer:

Are you talking about TS2000i here?
You'll have to google this, but the dynaorder mob did one (I think this is now gone - the guy wanted to sell the source code - why didn't IQ buy it), Hypertrader has one, and the dudes from tssupport do another.
I think the tssupport version allows you to connect to TS8 as well.

The problem is that you'll have to get updates/pay for support if/as IQ makes changes to their feed - and if your adapter company goes out of business then you're shagged. I believe there was a right royal F-up a while back with a change to the IQ satellite feed.

The thing is IQFeed should provide an adapter themselves, but being the dickheads that they are they do not give a shit or think there are not enough TS2000i users out there for this to matter. Plus they want to promote prophetX or whetever its called.

I wonder how many potential customers they have lost to eSignal because of this (i.e., no TS2000i support). It shouldn't be that hard for them to write an adapter for one of the feeds that TS2000i already supports anyway.

Shiet, too much common sense for that to happen...

Hi wizardx,

I haven't used TS2000i for many years (well, I have dicked around with it, but have not used it for trading in the last few years), so there has been no need for an adapter (use CQG and TS8.1 + broker feeds these days)

I do not know how good the TSSupport adapter is, but you could probably get a trial from them, and make it coincide with an IQFeed trial to see if that meets your needs.

The Dynaorder dude mentioned that some of the info necessary to create an adapter for TS2000i requires the developer to sign a non-disclosure agreement with TS - hence why the code could not be released into the public domain (yeah right - of course he was trying to sell it). I could be wrong but that is my recollection. Maybe someone here can help you with info about how to build a new feed into TS, or better yet, how to use a current adapter.

Good luck.
 
Yeah, but doesn't the OnDemandServer SDK require that you are already running OnDemandServer? i.e. the SDK allows you to use to write OnDemandServer adapters to feed TS2000i, but you still need OnDemandServer.

Anyway, ODS supports IQ out of the box.

Having said all that, wizardx is looking for info how to build an adapter himself, without running ODS.

[Edit]: Hmmm, maybe you can just run using the SDK? :confused:
They are asking like just under $300USD for ODS, and a cool $4500 UDS for ODS SDK !!! :eek:

I have not used ESignal is years. When I first started trading I used an old Quotetrek. I then used DBC/Bonneville. They are garbage. Anyone that pays that kind of money for Esignal is nuts. They are worth at best 50.00 a month.

Crazy to pay that money and not have CQG!!! Insane.

The best deal going is Ensign and IB or Sierra and IB. But Gawd's sake if you are going to pay top dollar go with CQG!

TGM: I'm in the process of opening a TradeStation account so I can cancel my subscription to eSignal charting. I continually have problems with delayed data when running eSignal TICK charts. For the money I spend with them monthly, that's just unacceptable.

My problem is, I need a good realtime data feed for Ensign Windows charts, to replace my eSignal data feed. I also need backup data that refreshes almost instantly, like when I use eSignal's realtime data feed with Ensign. Can you, or anyone else out there, recommend a good realtime data feed for Ensign and a datafeed for bachups or instant refreshes, something that refreshes quickly?
 
Esignal data is a bad joke, but I'll admit I loved the software. I liked the ability to scale the chart by "grabbing" the edge and scrolling, as well as the MP charting. I paid $135 for esig when I used it as a backup. For $135 I received premier, e-minis, equities and index. CQG would be $450+ for the same package, but I'll admit it's an apples to oranges comparison. CQG data is flawless.
 
how much does cqg data cost? what's the basic package? say you just want datafeed to feed into tradestation. nothing else, no charting software or anything.

why not take a look at iqfeed with ensign? i read somewhere here that it was a good clean set up.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know if iqfeed refreshes fairly quickly with current data?
