Are you saying they try to profit by charging members for exchange fees? I think if they charge Minimal fee like 10$ and give traders freedom for havin their own selected feed isn't more fair?
No, I am saying that they are in the business of selling their datafeed, so it seems reasonable that they would not want a different source feeding their software. As for exchange fees, eSignal does not profit from them. Exchange fees are passed on to the exchanges. The datafeeds (eSignal or anyone else) does not have the option to not charge you the exchange fee just because you already pay it somewhere else. Unfortunately, the exchanges demand that in such situation, the exchange fee should be charged twice.
Check out Ensign's new IB version. It uses internet sources for charts and IB for the tick feed. http://www.ensignsoftware.com/ibload.htm
Thanks for help. I knew IB supported Ensign for data, But i don't want to use Ensign, i need to use either Esignal or TS.7 After doing some search i foumd following links: http://www.ctsgroup.de/swscshot1_e.html supports TS2000i with IB Data only. (No Esignal or TS.7) http:// www.traders-soft.com Can't use IB's feed . <<OnDemand Server⢠is the Data On Demand solution for TradeStation 7, Tradestation 2000i, Metastock Professional 7.x/8.x and ASCTrend6.0. OnDemand Server makes it possible for users to access online data (historical and real-time) provided by the QCharts(Quote.com), FutureSource ProNET, RealTick III, eSignal, DTN's IQFeed, MetaTrader and TeleQuote online data feeds (depends on version). >>
TS2000i is also supported by Hyperserver Lite. It's free and you can get all the symbols you want. It's better than Metaserver (I tried it before) that in the demo version is limited to 2 symbols. Here is the link to Hyperserver: http://www.hypertrader.it/hserverl.shtml
Does it says i can use hyperserver lite to use IB TWS for TS.7 in on-demand mode only? Can someone explain what is ON-DEMAND means? Is it real time Tick by Tick feed from IB to TS.7? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ⢠HyperServer for TradeStation 7.1 HyperServer Lite for TradeStation 6/7 allows to connect your TradeStation to any internet/satellite quote vendor in on-demand mode, support also ASCII, MetaStock, OMZ, XPO data format.
