Re: [amibroker] Re: best feed for ASX?

I just received reply from eSignal, their feed only service is $85 instead of $125/$195, and you have to ask for it explicitly. So there may be something more in their list price. What I asked exactly is how much would be the fee for the feed only, if I do not need their charting and trading platform, and their response was "$85 for the feed only"
Plus you have to pay the ASX exchange fee, a little bit below $40.
You could add this information to the UKB too, I think. :)

OK - I see you want the USD$195 Premier Plus package at eSignal
because it has options in it.
