I am using CSI for EOD and until 1 month ago they were great.It is a self
correcting download data and you are able to receive it in different
forms and time frames.The disadvantage is that you must download all of
the futures(or stock or both - they have different programs).As of 1
month ago they came out with a new version of the software
(I am using the "Unfair Advantage" for futures)The download is ok but
"build" takes forever.They promised to have a newer version sometimes in
September that will
allow you to download only the futures you want and bring the"build" time
up to speed.
So far nothing. But if they will bring the program up to speed ,the
program is very reliable and the tech support is there if needed.
