Yes, this is one of those "little things" that needs to be fixed, but I guess the two hours it would take to fix it doesn't fit into the vision.
>Bernd Kuerbs I envy your ability to write solutions to such problems and to create custom-made charts. But I prefer to subscribe to charts that already have the basic functions. I simply can't understand how eSignal has gone to such great lengths over the years to make 'better than most' charts while not taking care to fix this most basic problem. >cmaxb >Yes, this is one of those "little things" that needs to be fixed, >but I guess the two hours it would take to fix it doesn't fit into >the vision. I'll bet they could do it in 1 hour!!
It's nearing middle of April, where is eSignal 8 at? Or are we going to have an excuse for this one, or better yet... a delay. Always love to bash on eSignal more and explain why eSignal deserves no new users. So what's the story this time. We getting a delay on eSignal 8, or are things changing? What's the news?
Acutally, if you could delay it and make it multi - threaded as in Enterprise Level software Like NeoTicker - a small programming shop that produced a multi-threaded software charting package that works with your data!!! - my my - your army of programmers can't do it but their small shop can... ???? cj... :eek: Where did all the craftsman go... people who care about their product who <u>build in</u> invisible quality into their software and feel good about it when they go to sleep at nite... sheesh... __________________ HAVE STOP - WILL TRADE If You Have The Vision We Have The Code
I actually tried the demo of Neoticker with the eSignal data, it worked great. I like Neoticker better than eSignal. It is a shame how a small group of programers can put a big one like eSignal to shame and just make me want to laugh at them really. Owell, in the future eSignal will get what is coming to them. Especially with new charting package like ProphetX coming out and still testing, I'm liking it better than eSignal already, still have to work on the scripting side, but eSignal is going to be tested soon.
If you want opensource charting that can hook to any datafeed... http://blogtrader.net/blog/default/ http://eclipsetrader.sourceforge.net/ Anyone wanna hook it into IB's TWS API or the MB SDK?
I love open source programs. Unfortunately.... Genesis Securities does not work with Linux, nor does Alaron Trading. I'ts a shame too, because if brokers today did support Linux, I'd hop ship immediately. I like the Eclipse project though, hope it does well. EDIT: Downloaded it for Windows.... doesn't connect to the eSignal data-feed?
Eclipse and Humai are Java - they run on Linux, Windows, anything that runs Java. I have windows and have used both. They could get data from eSignal...
