does not work reliably
Hi,

This ESignal data contains many holes. For EUR/USD there was half an hour of missing bars in last 24 hour period.

The data was definitely available from FXCM - but not ESignal. FXCM had it on their platform and in Order2Go.

ScottJ - ESignal Administrator had this to say (dated May 2008):

"I wouldn't anticipate this issue getting addressed this year I'm afraid."

"I see those gaps as well using the FXCM specific symbols"

"We currently are unable to back-fill an individual contributor's feed so we can't replace that data"

Link to full thread on Esignal forum is here.


The FXCM data feed that was advertised on this thread costs $175 per month ($50 for Forex PLUS and additional $125 for ESignal-Premier).

I invite someone from ESignal to update this thread once it is working reliably.

Regards,

Joel
