since esignal have taken over its hit the rocks.

the feed interrupts 2-3 times a day which means i miss opportunities and thus money.

although the problems have been around for a few months, i thought id give them some time to sort out the issues but its clear they cant be bothered.

well done esignal, youve ruined a great product for no reason. hardly encourages me to sign up to your premier product does it - especially since you admit e-signal and fsxtra now run from the same plant.

STAY AWAY!

At the beginning I found it a bit pricey for me ($90 + exchange fees) but it didn't take me long to realise that I had to settle for a much worse feed if I wanted to go any cheaper than this.

I subscribed to all of the packages which I though of as serious competitors to this product and ran their charts side by side to fsXtra. None of them could compare to the FutureSource feed. For me a quality data feed is just as, if not more important than a nice and customizable user interface.

The only problem I have had with the data is a couple of bars missing 2-3 times every month, but as it has been said on an earlier review, you'll only have to restart the program and it's all there. I don't even know if I should call this a problem :-).

As I said, you can't find a better feed than this in the same price range.

When it comes to the software not all things are that great. You can't write your own indicators or customize them very much in any way, though there are a lot of indicators that you can choose from. The panes also resets to the standard size every time you open a new workspace with charts on them, so if you have a bunch of indicators on your charts you'll have to resize the panes every time you shift from workspace to workspace.

But I don't have to worry about that. All I need is price and volume, and with these simple demands this program delivers big time.

The things I personally feel are missing is the ability to turn on and off the overnight session on the e-minis and the ability to change the background color to anything other than white, but I'm sure they'll add it on a later update if they get enough comments about it. (This would be a nice place to add the great support they are offering)

Bottom line, I've never found any package that has ever come near this one, within this price range. I'm going to stay with FS until eSignals screws up the feed :-)

If you have any questions about this product, don't hesitate to PM me.

Thank you for your time.

There are not many features on the product - but as I only use price bars and volume its no big deal to me. I still say sales staff are a pain, but technical staff/support are great.

The main benefit of this product MUST be its reliability, especially when I compare it to my mates who use eSignal and are always having problems with it. Its far more reliable than eSignal and is much cheaper than esignal. I have only had 2-3 issues in this time - mostly chunks of missing data - but a restart of the program (not my PC) usually clears this issue.

If you are looking for a fast, reliable, cost effective alternative to esignal - and dont need all the bells and whistles then this must be the best alternative (works out at about the same price as Sierra+myTrack, but also has back fill).

Interestingly esignal now own futuresource - so I hope the reliability doesnt go down hill from now on

Technical support staff are responsive and helpful. Sales and account admin staff are rude and unhelpful - enough to put me off wanting to give them money, they also know nothing of their own product.

Havent really been using the product long enough to comment on reliability.
