Data Feed

Hi

I have a subscription with Esignal,i checked IQfeed's prices for the same product ( CME e-mini) and i found that are less expensive plus there is more hystorical data.
Before i change i'd like to know some experiences with IQfeed , their reliability, customer service Ecc. and if someone has tried Esignal and IQfeed together , could me show the big differences,if they are
This because their free trial is too short ,only 7 days.

thanks to all .

Re: Data Feed

Hi shrike,

I've used both eSignal and IQfeed (several years each) but not at the same time. I found both to be very reliable. I never had to contact either for support on their product. I only contacted them about understanding changes in what data I wanted and price changes. I had no problems there either.

I've been away from trading for about a year and I think I'm going to try BarChart data with NinjaTrader now. I'm still gearing up and looking for the best combinations. That's how I ran across your question.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Tex

Re: Data Feed

Hi Tex

thanks for the reply
I've also contacted BarChart but ,if i understood well, it can't use it with two sw at the same time like with Esignal.
Barchart seems less expensive then ES or IQ and has more data.(50 day tick).
I sent them an email asking if there is some offers with multiple subscriptions , but no answer yet.

Re: Data Feed

I've contacted IQFeed yesterday about the latency issue I am experiencing. They said it's unusual because they haven't had any other reports but I've had it for a long time with different computers trading from 3 different countries. I do like the feed though because it's very cheap and the data is complete. Anyway, they told me they are investigating it. I'll post here if they get back to me. In the meantime, you might want to trial them and see if you are also experiencing this latency issue and let me know so I am not alone on this one. It usually lags by about 1 second, but today was extreme where around at 11am CET it lagged behind TT's feed by about 5 seconds for about 10 seconds.
