For system developers, one big problem w/E Signal is that they don't offer a meaningful amount of tick data in continuous format or any other. Many traders use range, volume or tick bars in their systems and these must be build from tick data and while Trade Station offers six months of historical tick data I don't know of any vendor that offers a year of tick data and the little bit offered by E Signal is useless for systems development.

Playing around a little bit more today... What sucks big time: In 10.6, it was possible to display EOD daily charts of non-subscribed symbols. In 11.5, this is no longer works. All one gets is the message "not entitled" on top of the chart. There are symbols out there for which I don't need realtime or intraday data, but occassionally want to take a look at EOD charts. The US Dollar Index or GC gold futures, for example. This is bad. EOD data is everywhere else available for free. In eSignal 11.5, not anymore. WTF? eSignal, do you really want to anger your long-term customers with such stupid issues?
