can anybody give me an idea how esignal is holding up today and for the past few weeks. My realtick is becoming a liability lately, TERRIBLE!! TIA
i have zero problems with esignal and i never had any problems with esignal, ever. (hoo yes wait one time it went down for a few minutes) today was good too, of course you get a few seconds lag in the charts when the fomc announcement came out but within minutes it was allright. i love esignal
one thing you have to know about esignal is that in days like today, when the chart ''freezes'', its only the display, the tics are coming in fine. I know because im automated with esig and Ninja Trader and esignal will transmit a order fine to NT even though the charts are ''frozen'' so its a minor display issue, and it never happens in normal market conditions (at least to me)
I wouldn't call the screen freezing for 2 min. a "minor display issue." Agreed the data manager runs fine but winsig is a badly designed single-threaded app that should have been rewritten years ago.
eSignal routinely behind my IB quotes and today during the meltdown, it just stopped working, for seconds at a time. IB feed into Button Trader worked fine right through the afternoon.
I agree on the single thread part and yes from a software design it needs a complete overhaul. I would also improve the look and feel because it feels like a software from the windows 95 era. It is a minor diplay issue to me because i dont rely on the esignal display at all. as long as my orders are sent right its good to me.
anyone that thinks esignal is archaic, take a look at my screen. Is there any charting package out there that looks this pretty?
