That has been an on and off problem with Esignal for years. Its why I stopped using them (I was a customer for about a decade). I use DTN now. Much better data, but not as extensive for international mkts. Jay
Guys.... MY bad.... problem fixed on my end. I had a slight issue with Ensign (my charting package) which was throwing off my data. Once again, this was NOT an issue with e-Signal. My apologies.
Sarasota, Thanks very much for following-up with that clarification. We had no other reports of latency so I was about to give you some troubleshooting tips to consider. This eSignal KnowledgeBase article is full of possible causes for slow data. Thanks again.
No problem Scott. I am not a big fan of someone sitting anonymously behind their monitor and ripping away at other posters, firms, etc. The problem was clearly on my end, so I thought the right thing to do was clear things up, even if I do look stupid in the process. Once again, my apologies.
I trade the ES from the beginning, years ago. I never had any delay with my Esignal. I check every trade with the realtime quotes from my broker. I never see a noticeable difference between the two. I live in Europe and have the impression it is a typical american problem. If it really irritates you, you might consider moving to Europe. Now that i think of it, it might be possible that my broker has the same lag as Esignal. In that case i will never know if the realtime quotes are realtime or delayed.
E-signal Support: Could someone address the issue e-signal is having with the ICE products? Any time there is a surge in activity, quotes for Brent and WTI lag for a minimum of 30 seconds to a minute. This is always the case. BTW- the lag is noticed compared to the prices comming from TT. Thanks
