I just started trading with esignal recently(Ive only ever used 11.5). I have done a TON of research on front end data feed providers and execution platforms. For the cost, Esignal edged out all of the others. I Day trade KOSPI futures, swing trade 30+ different N.A./European/Pac-asian/currency futures, 22 forex pairs and I follow 270 different instruments for my options trading. I compile tremendous amounts of data into excel files for these instruments and it is easy enough to import/export with my DDE capabilities. Plus the price alerts and trade management software is very intuitive and easy to utilize. The only beef I have is they do not have any options analytics to compete with thinkorswim. For now I use optionvue to do my options analysis and trading. I have it on word from Esignal though that they are actually developing an analytics program this year. Plus the looks are pretty cool, feels like Im trading in the Matrix...lol I just read the entire manual cover to cover and havent had any tech issues. The entire platform has been the most user friendly of any ive used in 7 years of trading
