Automated Trading with Esignal

Recommended Posts

Hi all!

 

I have recently decided to use esignal and i have some questions. and i need a suggestion on which broker to choose.

1. Can you please suggest me of the broker/s that has the fastest and most reliable execution of trading orders with esignal?

I am trading on the CME futures and using automated trading with esignal.

 

2. I understood that the connection between esignal and the broker in automated trading is made by a plug-in.

my question is: while making a market order(using automated trading), is it possible that there will be a delay from the moment esignal gave the order until the broker sent the order to the CME?

if there is a delay, how long can it be? is there a way to trade automatically with esignal without a delay?

 

3. Are there any bugs that can happen because of this "plug-in"? like: is it possible that the broker will send the order to the CME on a different price than what i wanted in the esignal charts?

 

THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE

Hi all!

 

I have recently decided to use esignal and i have some questions. and i need a suggestion on which broker to choose.

 

1. Can you please suggest me of the broker/s that has the fastest and most reliable execution of trading orders with esignal?

I am trading on the CME futures and using automated trading with esignal.

brokers are like girl friends... different people see beauty in different girls...

 

things to consider:

1. where are you?

this is the internet age with little boundaries, but still,

some good brokers might not be available in your country.

 

2. who are the major brokers in your area?

ie. what are your selection? what are your choices.

 

3. what do you need?

eg.

some brokers are good with technology, but short on human contact.

others might cost more in commission, but you get to talk to a real person when you call.

 

2. I understood that the connection between esignal and the broker in automated trading is made by a plug-in.

my question is: while making a market order(using automated trading), is it possible that there will be a delay from the moment esignal gave the order until the broker sent the order to the CME?

if there is a delay, how long can it be? is there a way to trade automatically with esignal without a delay?

the delay will be in milliseconds.

 

the biggest delays are caused by:

1. the router in your home

2. the last mile (google if you are not familiar with this term)

3. your ISP's server

 

3. Are there any bugs that can happen because of this "plug-in"? like: is it possible that the broker will send the order to the CME on a different price than what i wanted in the esignal charts?

 

THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE

anything can happen... but not a different price.

 

the computer can crash,

the software can hang,

 

but computers and softwares are stupid,

it will only do what you tell it to do.

 

 

hope the above helps.

good luck

From my understanding eSignal does not have automated trading as yet, though they have been saying that they are working on it for quite some time now.The eSignal plugin will at best, allow you to make off the charts trading. Not fully automated trading.

 

The real issue, methinks, is that the eSignal programming language EFS has to be modified considerably, if it has to become an automated trading platform. That seems to be taking time.

 

But there are workarounds. Like you can EFS write into a text file which is directly inputted into a trading interface. If your trading strategy operates in the high frequency range meaning if milliseconds matter for you, then it may not be the best approach.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
