Regarding CME rates, I haven't seen any internal notification of a price reduction from the CME and I don't see any formal notice on their site. We'll look into it next week and if a price reduction is coming, we'll announce it here, on eSignal Central. Regarding 7.5, yes we are still aiming for December 2nd, barring any unforeseen problems. Thanks
Scott, There will be a lot of changes for CME and CBOT in Jan 2004 because of arrival of US Eurex in Feb 2004 including lower exchange fees and lower commissions... It is good to have competition!
The latest version of eSignal 7.5 is now available here: http://www.esignal.com/download/default.asp To learn more about this latest version check this out: http://www.esignal.com/esignal/features/default.asp Chuck @eSignal
One thing that is still lacking is that there is still no product offering from esignal that is attractive to people who only trade futures.
Yes, we will be passing along the CME changes in January, along with fee changes for the CBOT, LME and FTSE Index Values. Here's the official announcement on eSignal Central. Thanks.
eSignal Premier is just $104/mo (pre-paid and plus exchange fees) and gives you access to 20 Futures Markets across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. If you compare us with services that provide the same breadth of coverage, I think you'll find that we are very, very competitively priced. Thanks.
NASDAQ announced discontinuation of NQLX this past summer so there are no plans on our part to move forward with NQLX support. Here's the text of an announcement from NASDAQ. ------------------------------------ NASDAQ's new management, led by President and CEO Robert Greifeld, has recently concluded a strategic review of its business initiatives. As a result of that review, NASDAQ has announced that it will focus solely on products and services that contribute to its mission to be the best stock market in the world for investors. After careful consideration and effective immediately, NASDAQ will discontinue its efforts to launch the BBX. Additional initiatives NASDAQ plans to discontinue include: NASDAQ Europe. Shareholders of NASDAQ Europe voted to discontinue operation of the market. As a result of the decision, an orderly wind down of market operations will take place. NQLX. NQLX is a joint venture with the London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE) to create a market for single stock futures and other futures products. Liquidity Tracker. Liquidity Tracker is an automated order routing system designed to allow traders to direct orders to specific market makers based on recent trading activity. NASDAQ Tools. NASDAQ Tools is an order management system for order routing and quote management. We understand that the decision to discontinue the BBX may be disappointing, but the existing Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) will continue its current operations that provide a quotation facility for companies that are current in their Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings. If you have questions, please call the BBX toll-free line, 877.BBX.LIST (877.229.5478) or email bbxinfo@thebbx.com. -------------------------------------------- Thanks.
Correct me if I am wrong, but according to the pricing page you refence, Esignal Premier is $104 annual prepay but to get futures you need to add $25/month. The $104 includes equities only. Thus, to access 20 futures markets it would be $129/month plus exchange fees with annual prepay. Maybe the website just needs updating to reflect the removal of the $25 monthly add-on? "Choice of U.S., Canadian, European, Asian and African equities, indices, CME E-Minis and CBOT Mini-Sized Futures, plus 100s of world indices. Unlimited number of symbols, viewing 200 at a time. Futures Add-On: $25 / mo. Add 500 or 1,000 symbols viewing at a time: $50 / mo."
