During its more than 25-year history, eSignal has grown into one of the primary providers of global real-time market data in a variety of packages to fit almost any level of trader, whether an individual investor or an institutional trader.
A division of Interactive Data Corp., eSignal has assembled an array of products, including some by astute acquistions that not only deliver timely, reliable price quotes for stocks, options, futures and Forex but also provide a wide range of tools to analyze the data.
eSignal, the company flagship, offers about everything an active trader needs, from the financial data itself to extensive charting capabilities to news and research services to backtesting to scanning markets for opportunities to developing strategies with eSignal Formula Script (EFS) language to the ability to trade directly from the eSignal screen with some brokerage firms.
A right click on an eSignal chart brings up a menu of choices to format the chart or add one of many studies, from the basic to complex add-on studies from other providers, including dozens of formulas that can be applied. A recent version 10.5 provides 12-plus years of minute-based historical data for better back-testing plus 100-plus new pre-built scans and special windows for futures.
eSignal, Advanced GET Edition, includes a set of highly regarded Advanced GET proprietary indicators to help traders spot opportunities.
eSignal Pro steps up the platform for professional traders by offering a variety of optional market data solutions.
eSignal OnDemand is perfect for the frugal trader who doesn’t need streaming real-time data, offering delayed intraday data including versions with real-time quotes for Forex and mini futures for as little as $44.95 a month with no exchange fees.
QuoTrek, originally offered in 1983 as one of the first ways to get real-time quotes on a mobile unit, was re-launched in 2004 as an application that traders on the go can add to their PDAs and cell phones to access data, charts and news anywhere.
FutureSource Workstation, also added to the fold in 2004, provides a variety of advanced charting and trading solutions.
Quote.com products include QCharts and LiveCharts for charting, Quote.com for financial news and commentary, FutureSource.com for futures traders and Raging Bull, on online investment community and message board site.
Market-Q, launched in 2007, taps into Interactive Data Corp. resources to offer professional traders with a wide range of content.
The point of listing all of these products is to illustrate the breadth of products available from eSignal to fit any data need and price range. With redundant tick mills and servers in widespread geographical locations, eSignal has built a reputation over the years for reliability in delivering data in all of these forms.
But, while receiving timely data is a service that many traders take for granted after a while, perhaps the most remarkable thing about eSignal is its emphasis on education, a trait that is in line with TraderPlanet’s goals.
eSignal offers an event schedule that is probably the most ambitious of any firm in the trading industry. Included are online webinars almost every day and free live seminars somewhere in the world almost every weekend providing product training or market information. It’s hard to beat a free seminar in your own locale. Advanced GET and multi-day seminars are also available for a fee.
eSignal also offers a number of newsletters and other educational resources by clicking on the Support tab on an eSignal screen, including a Traders Toolbox from Quote.com that is packed with all sorts of informative material.
As one of the premier real-time market data providers, eSignal is a natural choice for consideration as a finalist for a STAR award from TraderPlanet.com.
