Hi,
it seems, no one is using the ESignal Datafeed together with IB. I
can only recommend it, as it's sometimes cheaper than QCharts. If you
talk directly with a sales representative, they might offer you
special discount rates. But what's even better, they normally don't
screw up with the datafeed in high volume times. Something you find
almost daily on QCharts.

I have uploaded an ESignal.zip file in the Files section, showing a
very basic implementation of a DDE-Lonk to WinRos.exe (the Datafeed
Manager), which needs to run prior to requesting the DDE-Link.
The Project provides some basic data, a Level I window and a Time of
Sales list.

Hope it helps someone to save time implementing the ESignal Datafeed
in a TWSAPI Aplication.

Good trading,

croc
