Hello to all, -
You have firewall.
You have to open a channel for communication with eSignal and back.
Your computer is totally naked in front of eSignal. Company can and
will take a look on your secret trading system(s).
Will you please tell me how do you protect yourself when you are
working with eSignal online?
