Hi I am currently looking at a data provider solution for my new workstation. I am currently trying eSignal station but i wondered if someone experienced better platforms or if you'd know a study on the net of different providers. Any help is appreciated
I think from what I have read, DTN IQ is more reliable than E Signal, but they don't seem to provide charts, or atleast I find nothing on their website so you have to use a charting package and connect to it like Sierra or Quote Tracker. Come to think of it, I recall someone mentioning Prophet is owned by IQ I believe so there is your charting. I never had problems with Esignal, I just think they are expensive for what they are.
Pure data or charting? Pure Data: Reuters QuoteCenter Charting: I'm partial to QCharts, but they got bought by Esignal, so... take it for what it's worth. Reuters is a bit on the pricey end, and combined with MetaStock (charting) it can get expensive. http://www.equis.com/products/realtime/quotecenter/?overview i'm happy with reuters/equis, but it has a bit of a learning curve if you've never used a reuters terminal before... or, you have your typicals: IB and SierraCharts or QuoteTracker etc...
I'm a big fan of QuoteTracker. Takes a while to get used to but just awesome software and I've tried them all.
Yes i agree with you. They seem OK but quite expensive! I am interestd and feed+charts. Any review of the different competitors on the Net?
IB data is cheap and unreliable in my 3 months with them. Too many charts with no backfill, maybe it's Sierra's problem, but judging from reading around here I don't think so.
