Data Feed

[shrike 10]

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 .

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.

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.

I've had latency issues with IQFeed for Eurex data. I am trading from Europe though.

Hi AgeKay

 

thanks for the reply, I also trade from Europe

 

I'm waiting for an answer by BarChart , if there is a subscription with wich can connect two or more sw at the same time.

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.

Hi AgeKay

 

I don't try their demo , is too short, only 7 days. I'm staying to Esignal waiting for an answer from Barchart.

What did you decide for, shrike?

Hi

 

I stay with Esignal, why^?

 

1)NO answer from Barchart , I called & mail them much time

 

2) Esigal support is ok(IMHO)

 

3)Esignal covers more Market than IQfeed

 

4)your account is very simple to manage

 

I hoped on Barchart much,but no answer to my inquiries make me thinking very bad on their customer service

 

hope it helps

Hey shrike,

 

Thanks. That is definitely helpful. From your experience alone, I think I will stay away from BarChart. Sounds very unprofessional.

 

I also saw some people on another forum who thought that maybe their $TICK data were messed up as well (during a certain period mind you, but that is enough for me), which is precisely one of the indicators I`m interested in.

 

Which broker do you use? Do you execute all your trades via the eSignal platform or do you use it just for charting?

 

Since I am only looking for market internals ($TICK, $ADD and sector EFTs from the S&P 500 universe), it might be overkill to get eSignal Premiere just for that.

 

Perhaps I`ll look into getting eSignal Live Charts.

 

Or possibly ditch Ninjatrader and Zenfire alltogether and go for the eSignal platform/datafeed and Interactive Brokers

 

Regards,

 

John

Hi John

 

I use it only as Datafeed , I feed 2 different sw at the same time , with Barchart this could not be possible , it must subscribe for each sw .

 

now i'm just making trading from my bank , I tried OEC . I am going to open an account by them in order to trade Eminisp500. their fees are absolutely competitive than those at my bank and customer service is ok as well (IMHO).

Thank you for your input, Shrike.

 

Best of trading to you!

I am looking to trade stocks on Ninjatrader or Esignal. Does anyone know what data provider or Broker that would be good for a trial. I have used AMP Futures with Ninja, but they don't have stock data. Thanks
