Hello  Jim,

JJ> PC Quote/Hyperfeed has no refresh facility and I don't trust
JJ> Historybank or omega refresh to be around when I need it. Around
JJ> 115/month.

let me warn you that even thought esignal has data history - it is bad
bad bad - did i mention bad?  if you trade systems using intraday data
you  WILL  NOT WANT THE HISTORY. your systems will never look the same
on  history  as  they do with the real time collected data.  i have to
use  quote.com  data  to  patch  in when i need it.  i would not waste
my  money  on  buying  the dynaloader for esignal or any other product
which gets and converts esignal history for ts.

so  while esignal is fine for rt, you still need quote.com for history
or some other source.

JJ> quote.com conitinues to get a lot of complaints and I'd have to use
JJ> Dynastore's product.  DS is OK but one must maintain two symbol lists.
JJ> Also, I don't want a third application if I can avoid it.  nothing is
JJ> maintenance free.  around $89/month.

JJ> eSignal interfaces easily w tS2k, requires no "translator" , can
JJ> provide refresh data thru Dynastore's product (120 per year). around
JJ> $82/montth (annual plan) + $10/month Dynastore for equities and sp/nd
JJ> mini's.  addl $50 / month if you want to get all futures.

JJ> there are probably other configs but I don't know them or have ruled
JJ> them out in the past bec of cost, complexity.  For example, something
JJ> call UMDS can work I recall but know little about it. It is not a data
JJ> feed itself but may allow you to use other data feeds.
