I am looking for a Data service that would fulfill my following 
requirements. I would really appreciate the suggestions and feedback 
of the people using the data with following software.

I have a dial up connection and 24/7 connection is quite expensive 
so I would like to download hourly and daily data at the end of the 
day on about 200 symbols including Stocks + Futures + Indices ( All 
North American )

I would like to update that data every night and save that data on 
my hard drive so that I can use it with following software any time. 


I am considering buying some of the following software. 

(1)	Dynamic Trader by Robert Miner
(2)	Advanced GET End of Day version
(3)	Advanced GET Real Time Version
(4)	Meta Stock Pro
(5)	Trade Station 2000i
(6)	Gann Trader V. 3.0

>From what I heard all of the above software would accept data in 
Meta Stock format except Trade Station. 

I am inclined to go for eSignal but there is a major hurdle. From 
what I understand, you can not save eSignal data on your hard drive 
and they said they do not sell data. You have to log on to their 
servers every time you want to plot a chart and once you go off line 
that data is gone except probably you can save the chart you are 
working on in that application.

Either I misunderstood their reply that they do not sell data and 
you have to log on to their servers every time for every symbol you 
want to plot which probably eliminates quite a large percentage of 
people who can not afford 24/7 and Fast internet   or cable 
connection or eSignal might not be the kind of service I am looking 
for.

They suggested DynaStore for Trade Station but what about other 
software?

Why can't I store their historical data for my personal research
and 
back testing when I am willing to pay for it? It really doesn't
make 
sense because If my isp or eSignal servers are down then I am in 
real trouble. Am I missing something here?

I would appreciate any suggestions and help from people using either 
one or more of the above software and data service they use as well 
as people using EOD eSignal as their source of data.  


Thank you,
Regards
Sean
