Alternatives to Esignal?

What else is out there at a comparable price?

 

Tradestation 8 is cheaper than eSignal, but 10 time better.



Esignal premier------------$115
Future add-on--------------$25
optionsplus add-on--------$50
Marketprofile----------------$10
CME market depth---------$20 (surecharge)
Spot forex data-------------$50
DJ news wire----------------$20 overpriced
Turbo scanner---------------$50
----------------------------------------------------
Total 340$

You will get all this with Tradestation 8 for $199+ $60 RaderScreen.

IT IS TIME TO SINK ESIGNAL

 

Let's not forget TS 8 cost $99 per month base if you use them as your broker. I am pretty happy with them.

 

You can also try "Tradestation offline patch" if your
friends has TS8 for as long as you want, before
subscribing to it.

 

realtick is a nice one...i use esignal but have been looking to switch to realtick which i used about 4 years ago...

 

Realtick has poor data, and you can't feed it from external
source.

And it's expensive as hell.

 

AGREED!

you could get cqg for a little more.

or

futuresource workstation (no mp i think) for a lot less ($200)

both are more reliable.

prorealtime is also supposed to be good and that only costs $50 pcm + exchange data

 

CQG has nearly everything TS8 offers, and much better
data feed, but overall it's still expensive at $550/month

Trader workstation isn't a value at $200, because it has
no any features expects simple quotes and charting, but
reliable feed.


I think if you could afford Esignal pro or primier, than TS8
is the best alternative at same price

 

Thanks so far for the replies.

 

Have you seen/considered MetaStock QuoteCenter, it is nothing but a re-packaged Reuters Trader targeted at retail ... with a very low cost of entry indeed.
