Mark:
I was quoted in an ad in TASC in early 1999, I believe. They read one of my
replies on a newsgroup [I believe the Omega newsgroup] and asked if they
could quote it and I had no problem with that. I have no relationship with
CSI other than that of a user for just about twenty years.
I agree that the database distribution can be lengthy. I collect all
futures around the world but no stocks. They use a proprietary method of
database management and compression to keep the file sizes on your hard
drive manageable and I assume that lengthens the distribution process. I
collect my data right before I leave my trading room to go cook dinner, and
I use my 'work on-line' machine, so I am not bothered by the distribution time.
Over the years I have used just about every data vendor, but I have always
found CSI's end of day data the cleanest, so I am still a satisfied customer.
I posted because someone mentioned that they had heard that esignal's data
was as clean as CSI's end of day data, which is far from the truth. Like
Mark, I am always looking for better, faster and cleaner data, whether it
is end of day or real-time data.
By the way...now that DBC has just totally crippled BMI's "real-time" data,
can we all get a few comments about esignal from traders that have switched
from BMI or that have CQG or FutureSource as a comparative standard?
Timely? Clean? Reliable?
Thanks.
