thanks for the info. One question - How are data feeds charged? If I want e-signal charting who gets paid what? Naturally SLK is not giving away data...so is e-signal going to just charge some sort of basic platform fee? thanks Chris
indahook, Good Questions ... For eSignal, it is running on the eSignal feed. It has direct connectivity to the RediPlus trading system from within eSignal. If you use TahoeCharts, there is a version that runs directly on the RediPlus feed now that is available now for $39. In the eSignal 8.0 release, we intend to sell a "software only" version of eSignal that will run directly on the RediPlus data feed plus many others, including IB, Ameritrade, Patsystems, etc. Chuck @eSignal
