Anybody have esignal software

Most of you guys who have been bashing eSignal probably have no clue on it works.

As someone else already mentioned in this post, eSignal gives you the opportunity to single out your data feed. You can choose the FOREX datafeed amongst hundreds of banks.

I used to have mine linked up to GAIN, same institution that feeds Tradestation users.

If you don't setup eSignal on a single feed, you'll get shitty charts full of shadows that may appear very tough to read.

Just switch to a single data feed and you'll be fine.

I personally moved from Tradestation to eSignal and I am very satisfied.

I personally use both platforms. While I am partial to TradeStation, eSignal is a solid platform and supports a lot more than just Forex.

As mentioned twice now, you simply need to select 1 of dozens of broker/bank feeds for your charting.

Of course, you don't need a professional platform to trade well but the institutions that you are going up against are using them. Winning in Forex is a tough battle. Showing up with a free, unreliable platform doesn't tilt the odds in your favor.

I have used eSignal to download data into my Tradestation 2000i for back testing. I also like the tick bar replay feature of eSignal. It allows easier delevopment of indicators and systems by letting you see if your code responds correctly to a condition. The only thing I did not like was the price. Anyway, I tend to use several packages for charting depending on the features that I want to use. I also use metatrader, tradestation 8, aspenGraphics, Fibonacci trader, etc...

What do you want to use esignal for?

Not to beat a dead horse but, e-signal is much more valuable for equity traders. It's pretty unreliable for FX.

Can you explain what you mean by unreliable?

I agree w/ you since it seem that most new fx trader are only looking for some thing to tell them when to buy/sell this would make sence.

But I can't do what I do on MT or trade station.

I use E-Signal. I use it because it is simply the most versatile charting I could find. I Do not agree that there is any problem with the data. In fact, E-signal has the most data sources of any place I have found. You can single out data sources from many of your favorite brokers or banks or run a composite of all. That is pretty good stuff.

Meta is great free charting but it does not have tick charts, copying and deleting trend lines is a pain in the butt and you cannot set the clock to your time zone (which I find particularly annoying).

So while I would rather not write E-singal a check overy month, I have not found anything else that satisfies my needs.

I both agree and disagree that eSignal's data is no good. The good news of it is it is made up of 150+ banks. The bad news with that is many of the banks have a 8 to 12 pip spread and cause a LOT of noise. With the right filtering tools and eliminating all the wide spread banks the data is PRICELESSS. I filtered out all the wide spread banks and you can see how much cleaner it looks PLUS it gives a more TRUE sense of the market having many banks makeup the feed. Volatility is MORE accurate once filtered causing all indicators to work better, bollinger bands, keltner channels, volatility based trailing stops and another tool I came up with that measures statistical hourly highs and lows. Look how well the market stays inside the hourly statistical ranges!

Here is a picture of eSignal's data TOP with it FILTERED on the bottom.
