TradeStation users that have wanted Eurex data realize they've been saying for 3 YEARS that this data was coming. Actually, today was a 3 year anniversary since this topic was brought up on their internal forums. It's actually pretty funny to read the threads ... "within 3 months" "by the end of the quarter" "by the end of the year"... I love TS, but this is a joke. They don't even allow you to at least download data from another provider, they'd rather the users just keep waiting for them to have it. I know eSignal takes some bashing here, and rightfully so, but TradeStation has it's own issues as well. PS I sent an email in to their customer service dept and was told within 3 months this data will be available. Time will tell...
Do not hold your breath. I did the same around January and was told 3 months. I think it is their favorite response. I am not sure what the issue is, but it sure not technological. I like e-signal, but would love to have another equivalent option. I mostly trade Eurex products, and it is the biggest derivatives exchange, I just do not understand why they would not add it.
Red - yeah, I have noticed that most things will be done in 3 months. This particular thread on their forum is a great example. Maybe they meant 3 years but typed months instead.
I dont want this to turn into a bash Tradestation session just noticed something funny a couple of builds ago in TS..... I saw that they had listed as "Coming Soon" the functionality that allows you to trade off a Continuous Futures Contract without having to use a workaround. I dont know what the number of days or weeks is in a "Coming Soon" but its been 6 months and there is no sign of it and there have been subsequent builds...... Again not difficult to do just foot dragging......
It appears that 'customer service' doesn't mean much too many of these vendors. At least TS has an 800#.
Noticed you didn't mention anything when TradeStation did come out with Eurex data. I love TradeStation.
There was another post that mentioned that TS came out with the data. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=81489&highlight=tradestation+eurex
I was wondering if anyone had applied their strategies to the Eurex Data from TS and if they had are they automating trades off that data......
