In a nutshell, I think Ensign is great. There is a level of customer
support that I have never seen elsewhere. It is not unusual for a feature
request to be added to the software within a few weeks, if not days. Of
course, it depends on what you are looking for, though.
Then Ensign programming language is based on Pascal and is extremely
powerful. In addition, it keeps getting better and better. There are also
a number of indicators, tools, and alerts that are built in.
The only downside I see right now, and this is probably true with most
real-time feeds, is that you can lose data if your computer crashes
during the day. There is no good way that I have found to refresh
intraday data that is missed, although I believe other users may have
found good sources for futures data. But if your system is solid and
doesn't crash, that shouldn't be a problem, anyway.
If you have specific questions, let me know.

I have been an Ensign user for several years now. Although I only use
Ensign V (a dinosaur now compared with Ensign VI and Ensign for Windows)
Howard and his staff has always been mindful, courteous and timely in
their responses to my questions and problems. In fact many are now
considering Ensign for Windows/DTN as the choice over TS but you would
want to get some feedback from someone more knowledgable in the area
of programming for more specific information.

Does anyone have experience or comments about Ensign software for charting futures? I am currently using DTN data and want to start using charting software. I guess I'm looking for general suggestions about software and where this one falls in the food chain. Thanks.
