eSignal Market Data in TWS ...

Work fine ?

Booktrader work with esignal datafeed ???

Is possible to have zenfire datafeed into TWS ( in the future ........ ) ???


Thanks
 
I think I like it but the devil's in the details.
Esignal's been less stable than IB lately in
high volume. Which price points will execute
more reliably, etc. Can anyone explain?
 
I hope this doesn't mean that IB will make its own data less of a priority. I've tried E-signal, more than once, and came to the conclusion that it was never as reliable or as timely as IB's data, and was also grossly overpriced and grossly undersupported.

If your happy with IB data...

Have you tried QuoteTracker?
 
Quote from DAV:

Yes we support eSignal for market data and we will soon allow eSignal for charts and time & sales.

Two questions:

1. In the market data dialog, one can specify if one wishes to get stock and/or option data from eSignal. What about futures data? Can I feed stock data from eSignal and futures data from IB into TWS simultaneously?

2. IB stock data has limits to how many symbols it feeds simultaneously. If I set eSignal to be the data source for stock data, is the max. number of simultaneously fed symbols then determined by my eSignal account settings rather than IB's internal data feed restrictions?

Thank you.
 
let's hope they use the real eSignal API, and not ActiveX. ActiveX is limited to 50 symbols, at least last time i looked.
 
Agreed on staying clear of esignal.

IB, I recognize your need to innovate but any time you innovate esignal into being your primary data source I will innovate over to another broker.
