CQG is pretty reliable but expensive Also you can use IB's data feed and run Sierra Charts which is very low cost, and reliable Steve
i think there are only 2 ways to go. upstream (cqg) or down stream. f-signal is priced pretty much mid-market. cqg may be the most expensive, but what do you lose in terms of missed trades with f-signal? will that pay the extra + for a cqg license? i dont trade off minute charts, so reliability is more of a pain in the but than than missed opportunity. i have gone downstream and am trialing www.prorealtime.com (java based ) no issues yet, but the documentation is lame and it gets getting used to like any new s/w product.
Will eSignal reimburse us for lost profits? Perhaps we can find a lawyer to file a class action lawsuit against eSignal to recover our lost profits for today.
Lost profits? LOL, we'd be lucky to get a pro-rated reimbursement for the time the service was down. Without even bothering to look I'm sure that the eSignal agreement we signed up under has more legalease ass-covering than you could ever dream of...
Great the feed is back but alas... there is a 19 minute gap in the data and some symbols do not come up. How the hell can I trade with 19 min gap in the data? This sucks big time. Trent
