eSIGNAL ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF
ADVANCED GET 9.0, REAL-TIME DASHBOARD EDITION

Establishing a New Milestone, Advanced Get 9.0 Features a New Decision-Support Tool Providing Concise, Simultaneous Monitoring of as Many as 100 Charts


HAYWARD, Calif. – October 4, 2005 -- eSignal, a division of Interactive Data Corporation (NYSE: IDC) and a leading provider of streaming, real-time financial market data, news, analytics and decision support tools to professional and individual traders, today announced the immediate availability of Advanced GET™ 9.0, Real-Time Dashboard Edition. Advanced GET 9.0 features eSignal’s new Dashboard, an innovative tool designed to increase an investor’s efficiency by simultaneously monitoring and analyzing as many as 100 charts.

"The new Dashboard monitors the status of our proprietary Advanced GET analytics and studies to help traders efficiently monitor the markets for signals,” said Chuck Thompson, president of eSignal. “By streamlining how traders monitor the markets, more time can be spent actually trading rather than searching for signals and set-ups.”

Advanced GET has been laurelled as the Best Stocks and Best Futures trading system for more than a decade by the readers of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities Magazine. In this new version of Advanced GET, the Dashboard has the ability to instantly import symbols from the Advanced GET scanner, which scans the entire market to find Advanced GET trade setups. Moreover, the Dashboard can display the study results and analytic setups continuously in real time, allowing the user to view results of multiple charts in a single, concise, color-coded, easy-to-use display.

Users can set the Dashboard's display to either standard or compact size, depending on their own personal preference. Additionally, users can choose various standard and proprietary studies, and modify a study’s setting with a single mouse click. For more in-depth analysis, users can also double-click any interval in the Dashboard and instantly load a chart containing the applicable symbol, interval and study. Users can also choose from several built-in technical analysis studies such as CCI, MACD, and proprietary GET Stochastic and XTL.

“The dashboard allows users to monitor Advanced GET setups and studies, showing extensive detail in an efficient space,” said Stan Hjartberg, director of eSignal's trading and education program. “At our free, live seminars, we show traders how they can use the Dashboard to monitor up to 100 charts simultaneously on one small window—they can click on any dial and instantly see the full chart with Advanced GET studies. Response to the new product has been very positive.”

Advanced GET was designed for the real-time trader and has access to major markets in the United States, as well as a number of international markets. For Futures and Forex traders, Advanced GET also monitors studies conducted on the extensive Futures and Forex currency pairs currently available from eSignal.
Additional Features:

New to Advanced GET is immediate access to a company's fundamental data, such as name, summary, sector and financials. This information can be retrieved quickly from the Dashboard, chart or the main menu. Also new to Advanced GET is an updated Windows® XP look and feel with a customizable toolbar, pop out windows and an enhanced market scanner.

New users can purchase the Advanced GET 9.0, Real-Time Dashboard Edition software package at the retail price of $3,995. For more information, including a complete list of Advanced GET products and features, visit eSignal’s website at www.advancedget.com or call 800.833.1228.
