FWIW I tried
IQ some months back and couldn't get it to work.

I don't think it is a speed problem, although if
you run pingplotter on an internet feed and see all the hops, it looks like
there are a ton of places where something could go wrong. Your location
could make a big difference in connectivity.

Bob:
In a week this has happened to me twice.
Once was during trading hours and once after hours. How often it
will happen in the future I can't be sure. Could it be the speed of
data reception that is causing it? Creating congestion that good old
MSFT can't handle.

To quote from Ira's post,
"With Ensign
every now an then something happensthat causes data to not be
received. Who is the problem I don't know. Thesolution is
to exit Ensign and reboot it. "
This is exactly what I experienced on the
dtn trial with software other than Ensign, so I don't believe it is
an Ensign problem. Infact Ensign programmers are so good I doubt it
is an Ensign problem. It is either dtn or an internet problem.
The connectivity problem was so bad I did not sign up for the
service. Connectivity has been a major problem with dynastore and
the dtn internet feed over the last year. They just can't seem to
make it work solidly enough for use in trading.

I have been a BMI user since 1989. It is my
understanding that eSignal isgoing to discontinue satellite
transmission very soon. That was confirmedby them. An
exact date has not been established as yet.I looked into both
DTNiq and eSignal as they are the two platforms that aresupported by
Ensign. Ensign has a new Beta version for DTNiq.If you
sign up for DTNiq you receive both DTNiq and DTN feed. DTN feed
iswhat is necessary to support Ensign. DTNiq provides 1000
possible symboluse, which is greater then eSignal.Costs are
substantially different. If you pay month to month DTN is
$70plus exchange fees and there is a $95 initiation fee.
eSignal is $129 permonth for me as a long time user and with a
prepay option it is $99 permonth. With the prepay option DTNiq
is $44.50 per month with the sameinitiation fee. If you
mention my name when you sign up you will get a $100credit as a
referral. I will also get the same credit. The only
otherdifference in costs is that if you pay DTNiq on a month to
month basis thereis a $20 monthly charge for stock options. In
both cases you get all of theexchanges on a delayed basis. To get
real time data you have to add theexchange fees which are the same
no matter who you use. With DTNiq theexchange fees are paid on
a month to month basis. If you would like someoneto talk to
about DTNiq call Jerry Prazan at 1-800-511-0096 EXT 3249. As
Isaid earlier mention my name as your referral when you set up the
trial andif you decide to sign up permanently.DTNiq has a
very basic charting package, personally I think that it sucks
incomparison with Ensign. The options template is excellent
providing all ofthe Greeks and it is laid out very well and is very
flexible. A chart takesup about half of the screen and the indicator
the other half of the screen.You can bring up several charts of the
item if you work with multiple timeframes. They have most of
indicators that are normally used. There is notemplate format so you
have to do the same chore each time you changecharts. This is a
personal matter and should be examined by each individual.If you
take the trial version there is no cost, you do pay the full
amountfor exchange fees. They are not pro rated, but if you
sign up then the restof the month is paid for. I took the trial and
paid for the stock exchangesand the options exchanges which amounted
to $4.00. The indicators andstatistics come in real time
anyway. At that time I found that the datafeed for DTNiq and
the CBOE were about the same for the most heavily tradedoptions like
IBM, OEX and QQQ. I used 3 different computers, one
withDTNiq, one with BMI satellite feed and the third with the CBOE
web site inthe comparison. Satellite feed was the
slowest.Now to reliability. DTNiq is up 24/7. I have
found a couple of problemsthat don't bother me, but which might
bother another trader. With Bean Oilcharts the data is correct
during the day and is charted with 4 digits. Acouple of hours
after the close when DTNiq is on refresh the charts arebrought up
with 2 digits so instead of 2100 they read 21. I have
contactedtech support about this. With Ensign every now an
then something happensthat causes data to not be received. Who
is the problem I don't know. Thesolution is to exit Ensign and
reboot it. The only other difference betweenDTNiq and eSignal
that I know of is the amount of data available. DTNiqprovides
data back about 10 yrs. Check this for yourselves as I am
notpositive about this fact. This is more then enough data than I
need totrade.I hope that this answers most of your
questions. Having only been real timefor about a week this is
about all I can relay. If DTNiq is like any otherfeed I am
sure there will be problems. They do have redundant systems
anddifferent servers provide daily and intra day data. Oh! one
other problem.I use DSL and a wireless router. I had to open
up ports in the router toallow data in. There is a range of
ftp ports and tcp ports that need to beopened in order to receive
data.Ira.----- Original Message -----From:
