Usually when eSignal has a glitch the problems persist for several days forward. This is no exception.

What's your excuse today eSignal?

What happened to those mythical quad processors and fixes that were supposed to cure these effects eSignal? http://forum.esignalcentral.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16383

i'm afraid the root problem at eSignal is they have a culture where the tech & IT people are treated like back office people, and the sales & marketing people treat them like crap. so in return, the tech & IT people don't give a damn and don't care if the project is crappy/buggy.

How much are you paying for the DTN IQfeed?

I'm using it with QuoteTracker and it's very inexpensive. $66/mo with CME emini Exch fees! It's more if you use different charting programs. But total cost is about same as esignal or slightly lower. Check it out. They will give u free trial. So far looks very robust. http://www.iqfeed.net/quotetracker/

...I'm seeing 2 second delays on the ER2 vs IB feed. And switching servers is only making it worse.

We did have an issue with connectivity out of certain co-locations from about ~7:00am - 7:45am. For more information, please see our Network Status page.

I had the same latency problems but I was watching my trading platform for price and there is no way it cost you 8 losing trades

Here's a good one. I have Esignal up and am in a trade and then I get a screen that "informs me" that my password is incorrect. I have had the program up for hours now. Suddenly the program says, incorrect password and stops the data.

I shut down and re-start and NOW I have a big gap in my data.

Really, what a bunch of fucking rocket scientists these folks are.

I switched to my backup

Really this kind of "service" is pathetic.
