how does integrating IB and esignal help in trading, when most posts on elite have said that esignals quotes lag IBs quotes especially in fast moving markets, which is exactly the time that timely quotes are needed?
what the heck good about esignal? why people r dying for esignal? I don't see any benefit integrating esignal with IB.
1) sorry but IB lag on eSignal of about from 5 until 11 trades in fast market with stocks that come for Nasdaq 100. Sometime it happen that eSignal lag (about 15% of time). Also, in every case, IB skip many prices that you can spot easily on the T&S. 2) how eSignal integration could help you, it depend of your trading style, but for intraday traders, this is more critical to obtain reliable information and make the transaction quickly, if you have two applications for do it, you waste important seconds to switch between them. If your timeframe don't required it, this will not too critical to obtain it. Also it seem with the next release, for fan of TS style, that it will be possible to buy and sold by programmation inside eSignal.
