[amibroker] Re: esignal data feed vs iqfeed

Hello
I am not using iqfeed becoz of the following reasons
1. The backfills seems visibly slower. This is because, if i have 
lots of data on a specific ticker, it starts the backfill from day 1 
till current date. amibroker does not show it as it is still waiting 
for the current data. With esignal, u will find that the data seems 
to be quickly loaded as it loads the most current data and seems to 
go backwards. It seems to fill data as i am already working on the 
current chart.

2. Sometimes, i have seen iqfeed gets stuck on some tickers. This is 
more evident during the initial period of time. I tried iqfeed twice 
and i could see these issues on the first day. Later it seems to get 
better after discussing with tech support. Not sure what they do,
