    Yes, we display Bonds in 32nds. Here's an example of eSignal displaying the US Bond Futures (US H4).

    Yes, but I like to show decimals in my other futures charts. As far as I know, I have to delete the specs.tab file as a work around to make them display decimals. The turns the bonds scale to decimals (1/100ths). Is there a way to get them to both display the way I want?

    lescor,

    At this time, a selection to decimalize a symbol or subset of symbols is not available in eSignal. We highly encourage anyone who wants to see a certain feature added to eSignal to drop an email to our Product Development Team for consideration of their suggestion(s). You can reach them at ideas@mail.esignal.com.

    Having had achance to use esignal for about 1 month now myself and from talking to my other colleagues, I would like to mention 2 major problems of using esignal for listed daytraders:

    1. Oftentimes, retrieving information for new stocks in Times and Sales and Chart will take a few seconds (while in AT Financial this will happen without any delay)

    2. News window cannot be linked to chart to display instantly news to that particular chart. (e.g. a situation when a stck just gapped down and triggered an alert on my filter - I would like to find out the news for the stock immediately before pulling the trigger)

    For, scalpers or daytraders that need to view all this information instantly and pull a trigger based on this info, this is a major headache. Hopefully esignal can address these problems quickly.

    So far the support has been excellent, the response for suggestions has been prompt and receptive.
    Other than these problems, I believe esignal has many more features and data than AT Financial. There are a few other adjustments that would be usefull to add for daytraders which I will post later.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I got a quick question about the CME and CBOT market depth data which are now available in Esignal 7.5.
    If one subscribe to this option, are this data then available for 3rd party application thru the datamanager ? (assuming of course these applications make the necessary change in order to receive them)

    Thanks for the information

    Eddy,

    My understanding is that Market Depth data is not currently available through any of our API's. We have had requests to add this, and it is something we do want to add. At this point, we need to look at any possible impact, and see where we can fit it into one of the upcoming builds.

    Jay,
    thank you for the quick answer. I hope indeed this could be implemented in one of the future Esignal release this year.
    There has been few interesting discussions in ET about the best way of using future market depth info for very "short term" trading, but we still lack a convenient way to collect and analyze such data...
