I tried this product out for myself last week. I could get tick and 1 minute data to work in the demo, but for some reason only 1 bar of daily data. Don't know why and didn't try to find out. I also found that there were unaccustomed delays of about 5 seconds when going to Format Symbol, and maybe the charts weren't as snappy as TS6 or Esignal 7.2 to load. Other than those comments, it seemed to work nicely.
For these reasons, I also tried their Uniserver, which is like a replacement for HistoryBank. It allows you to download data into your Global Server as if you'd been online with Signal. Everything worked well for me although I still have a minor question about the symbol selection process. Seems a LOT more reliable and easy to use than HistoryBank. So I bought this one, and so far I'm pleased with it. It's nice to have the data available locally sometimes, even if it does fill up the disk.
HTH,
