    Here's our pricing page.

    eSig Premier low as $95 plus $20/mo for depth. That includes T&S, $Tick, $Trin, etc. Please be sure to contact Sales rather than support. They are more familiar with pricing plans.

    Thanks.

    I don't use all that stuff but what about tradestation? If you trade enough it will probably cost you 30-40 bucks for all that.

    checked tradestation and didnt really understand their pricing but it was pretty costly, over $130 a month anyway, perhaps Esignal is the way to go, unless someone can explain a cheaper option, by market depth i mean where you can see the volume of the bid and the ask at the current price,it must have that feature, FXCM has it for forex lol but that;s forex

    sierra chart package 2 seems good, has market depth etc, it says it includes real-time forex data, what i want to know is will it provide real time ES data in package 2?

    Huh?

    If you paid for every single US equity package it would be about 50-60 bucks. You must be including the platform fee. Nobody pays that (100 bucks or something). I use TS as a secondary account for futures and all I have to do is 10 round trips and the platform fee is waived. I pay 28 bucks for equity futures data and some indices. That's it.

    A buddy of mine daytrades the spiders and he doesn't have any problem meeting the 5000 share a month minimum.

    I'm not recommending TS since I don't like them that much but they are the best deal for a full featured package for a decent price.

    Perhaps you should lay out more clearly exactly what you want in the package? In your previous posts I saw nothing about needing forex data.

    I always found Sierra Charts website/pricing too cryptic and confusing to figure out.

    If you just need in depth equity futures data it should just be 55 bucks plus a couple more for indices/trin/tick at tradestation.

    If you are making bank, go with eSignal or CQG (they are truly truly expensive)
