Twang, I have a 25down 5 up connection can ping pretty much any site in the us under 40ms and have no packet loss. Esignal is an overpriced product getting worse. I am now testing many alternatives. I now will have four feeds running agaisnt each other next week. DTN/esignal/reuters/zenfire. In limited testing on Friday afternoon zen fire was fastest. I have been doing this for a long time and I don't come on this board as a nontrader bullshitter. Anyway good luck to you.
I am not accusing anyone. What I am suggesting is most (not all) traders make claims that software packages are slow and delayed, but the traders I know, who use ESignal, all have great infrastructures and none have any issues. That is a group of over 60 traders in remote locations from NYC to CA. What are the issues that you experience with esignal? (if you don't mind me asking) -Twang2
Most of the real bad issues happened 2 weeks ago and the beginning of this past week. I was going to start a thread but didn't because I though it was on my end. What set me off was when I saw this thread and then I knew it was on their end. I had my whole order entry up at all times and it was ahead of esignal by seconds during the time of my frustations. The problems included data 3-4 seconds behind, charts not drawing on time, and the system almost locking up. Unfortunately when I signed up with dtniq, and zenfire these problems were not happening. Basically I'm happy esignal works well for you and your friends, for me though I think its time to move on.
The point isn't that eSignal doesn't sort of work sometimes. It does. In fast markets, it lags. The point is that it is ridiculously overpriced. jd, keep those reviews coming.
Yeah. There is a secret underground movement by esignal to go on elitetrader and convince all the big money institutions that post here, there is really nothing wrong with esignal. -twang
