    aphexcoil,

    Are you using esignals advanced charts with tick bars? Have you ever recognized the wrong calculation of esignals tick charts? That is when your charts are opened, the tick bars are ok. But then when you let the charts run realtime and additional bars are drawn, much to many bars are drawn! You can verify this by comparing esignals tick charts to TradStation- or Ensign tick charts. Or just refresh esignals tickcharts and you will get another chart picture with the correct number of bars.

    Maybe this is the reason why you are so enthusiastic about esignals tick charts?

    The eSignal version that contains tick charts is still a beta version. Please make sure you report all issues to beta@esignal.com so we can properly investigate and resolve. When you notify us, please make sure you tell us the exact build # you are on and as much about the situation as possible.

    Thanks,

    Scott,

    I did it several weeks ago with all details I had and I got a confirmation from esignal. But with the latest Beta 7.1 Build 472 the problem is still there.

  5. pethof,

    Perhaps something is wrong with your setup. I've had no issues with the Beta.

    aphexcoil,

    what else you can configure other than the number of ticks within a bar? i.e. 250T or 50T? Using a 250T bar will take a long time until you see the problem. Use a shorter tick frame and you will see it more quickly.

  7. I'm not sure how esignal does it thing, but since you are in
    Germany and the data originates from the U.S, I could
    understand how you might have some "tick" discrepancies.

    It's kind of amazing you can get real/time data at all, going
    over land and sea.

    Anyway, just something to consider.

    How do you know you haven't had any problems? Do you have any other tick based charts to compare to?

  9. Breakout,

    The delay is probably still pretty minimal, but latency becomes and issue because of all those routing switches.

    I've been watching ES a lot today via esignal and not one glitch. I love esignal (is this post worth a free month of service, Mr. Esignal Support man?)

  10. Aphexcoil,

    Just an innocent question. Have you ever done a live trade?
