RE: [amibroker] Re: eSignal vs. DTN (IQFeed) for futures

["Terry" <MagicTH@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good feedback. Thanks. I seem to recall DTN being recommended by someone on
this board.

Anyhow, I haven't signed up yet. Still using IB, but it seems unreliable to
trade from. Maybe that's just me. I also like getting continuous contract
data which both suppliers have and IB does not (I only trade futures). 

I'm sure I'll hear from those that aren't having problems with IB or DTN ;-)

Terry,

I started using DTN (for RT stock quotes). I've had nothing but grief.
Very slow backfills, no EOD/intraday merging as with eSignal.

I started my subscription with them in February last year. I received
an email from them in the summer stating that they would be increasing
their prices effective from when my current plan expires, which is in
about two weks time. I sent them an email stating that I didn't want
an automatic renewal. I didn't get a response, so I've just replaced
my credit card just to be safe...

Hope this helps,
Paul
