Dear Chris,

I use eSignal on Forex, I am quite happy with it.

I got over 100,000 quotes received everyday on major currency and part of
their futures (totally 78 symbols).

Subject to internet/DSL problems. (Question -- if DSL goes down and comes
> back, will esignal start working again unattended?), The answer is yes.

The only problem I found sometime ago is GBPCHF, I wonder have they
remedified it or not.

To my point of view, it is a good data feed supplier.

Victor
