API and LiveCharts and Market-Q and FutureSource Workstation

[patrick256]

I see that eSignal has a few new real-time products since I originall started using the desktop API. I would like to make my software work with all the eSignal real-time data subscriptions. Right now I believe the ActiveX desktop API will only work with the "eSignal" and "eSignalPro" subscriptions. Are there any plans to make the API work with the new LiveCharts, Market-Q and FutureSource Workstation?

Thanks
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

There are no plans to release a public API for our other product lines.

Thanks.

I would recommend that you build in the ability to offer an API to developers, just in case you decide to do so in the future. In my job I talk with a lot of traders and many of them are using the free text displays of real-time quotes that most brokers provide on the order placement web page. This is because the traders believe they don't trade enough to justify the expense of the real-time feed. I believe a lower cost feed like the LiveCharts that allowed access by 3rd party software would be very popular with a certain segment of the trading community.
