Ensign Question

Does Ensign allow you to adjust the scaling on your charts? The main problem I have with Sierra and QT is that you cannot set your own scaling. Sierra will allow you to adjust the range to a user defined setting but you have to go back and reset it every time you move out of the range which is a pain. It is very important to me to keep the scaling on my charts constant. Esignal allows you to do this but I track bonds and the euro and dax with IB data and would like to find a API app that would let you do this.

edit: tried to delete this but for some reason it wont do it. I downloaded the demo version and found the answer which I should have done in the first place. It does allow scaling and just about everything else it looks like.

 

yup, Ensign is top notch..

you can't delete the first post, that is forbidden.

 

I already have esignal and it seems that it got all basic features.
Now that I am reading all these great things about ensign.
Do I still need ensign if I have esignal?
Can somebody explain the added values of signing up again with ensign?

Thanks

 

I dont think you really need Ensign if you have Esignal. I am using it because Iwant to track bonds, etc without having to pay exchange fees and I like having backup charts. Esignal charting is fine for most applications imo.

p.s. I am having problems with the Ensign symbols for dax and estx50. Anybody help?

 

I thought if the first post was YOUR post, then you could delete
the entire thread if you wanted to. Has ET changed this?............

 

you can start it but you can't kill it.

 

Hi Easyreader:
Just questions on ensign's use:
If I don't sbscribe bond (CBT) on esignal, can I still access Bond in
ensign? HOw about Dax, eurostoxx and others?

Also, if I use esignal as my data feed and it goes down, wouldn' ensign also go down? If I also have IB, can I just switch the data feed easily in case esignal goes down? I think this is a good idea to have back up.
Thanks

 

You can access the bonds thru IB data. Dax and estx costs $8 a month additional to IB. If your using Ensign with Esignal then of course if Esignal goes down (I dont ever recall this happening) Ensign would also be down. I am using Ensign with the IB data. I dont think you can switch because there is a separate download for each data feed and I believe the billing is also different.

 

Ensign has more and better indicators.. more control over the parameters etc.. i wouldnt use esignal without ensign personally.. but, everyone has their own opinion i suppose..

as far as DAX and Eurostoxx symbols.. you need to make sure that you have the correct market times set for the symbols.. Dax is "AX H4-DT" and Eurostoxx is "ET H4-DT"
