Sean,
I use eSignal for Metastock Pro realtime, Advanced GET EOD, and RT,
and Tradestation 2000i (I use Uniserver from
http://www.tssupport.com/). The data is stored in Global Server for
TS2000; the data is stored in MS in the DataOnDemand Cache; the data
is not stored for GET RT, but downloaded from eSignal servers on
demand.
Most of the software you are considering is capable of using the data
from eSignal, and I would recommend that service as well as a high
speed internet service such as DSL or Cable.
Good luck,
Bob
