Tradestation and Esignal

Quote from FuriousInvestor:

One last question. Is it possible to paper trade with Tradestation using real time data without actually opening a broker account, and just subscribing to their service alone? I want to backtest a few ideas then paper trade it. Thanks again!

Yes you can.

How can you comeback on a question 2 hours before you posted the question? Check the time of each posting.:confused:

first posting at 12.50PM and second one at 10.46PM?
 
LOL! :D

I don't know what time zone these forums are running on, but I posted that question at around 5 AM ish in the morning eastern time, and then I asked again this afternoon in the PM.

Anyhow, thanks for the answer!

eSignal covers much more markets while TS supports US market only.

And sometimes ppl may prefer to hv more than one system to back up each other.

eSignal is really expensive.... esp true when you can now use TS free if you trade enough contracts there. So it seems that a lot ppl are switching from eSignal to TS.

A lot ppl may stay with eSignal for the time being b'coz they are used to it, hv their systems written in EFS, or hv binding contract with them. But eventually eSignal may need to adjust their price otherwise a lot of their customers will leave.

Is not that funny, 5 or more years ago eSignal, BMI, DTN where the less expensive feeds, comparing with Bloomberg, Bridge, Reuters..... Now eSignal is expensive as you now can get free feeds.
