How much historical data does eSignal carry?

[trend]

Scott,

Thank you for the update. As you can imagine, we have all been waiting for this update for quite a long time.

Do you have an anticipated launch date for tick data on the ES for eSignal users? Thanks.

[ScottJ]

I'm told by the head of our Engineering Dept that end of year is still the goal. I hestitate to post a target as this project has been delayed numerous times. Throughout all these delays, the work has continued but one thing or another has presented a complication that bumped the target.

Thanks for your continued patience.

ScottJ - It's been a half year since the last update. Where do we stand now? Last you mentioned end of year was new target. Is that on track? It's sooooooooooooooo frustrating to only have 2 weeks of tick data which which to build charts and less than 6 months of intraday data.

[ScottJ]

We've actually made significant progress and the extended data is up and running in our lab. We need another software release for the front-end tick server and then we'll need to start a roll-out across our farms, which takes time. We likely won't be fully ready by year-end but I am hoping we can let some users start testing.

Thanks.

Scottj,

Let us know if you need beta testers.

ScottJ,

Since you said "is currently being actively beta tested by a select group of experienced EFS users. We hope to have it ready for release ...Mar/Apr 05)" not much has happened.

I am not holding my breath. That was 3 years ago. But since I have been posting on this thread for many years hoping for the amount of tick data to be expanded to eSignal users, please contact me if/when you need beta testers. I would be more than happy to help out.

I appreciate your patience and certainly concur that this project has taken a long.......time to complete. When we're ready for testing with external users, I will certainly give preference to anyone on this thread who's been patiently waiting.

Thanks.

Scott,

How about those of us who have been waiting impatiently ;-) ?

Please give us some good news ScottJ. Another quarter has passed and I'm beginning to feel like an investor in eSignal, hoping for some far off distant return that never materializes...

[ScottJ]

There has certainly been some progress for QCharts users, as evidenced by the open beta now underway for extended history from eSignal servers.

This beta will be followed by an official release for QC users and then it's on to begin a beta period for eSignal users. Hopefully not much longer for at least testing to begin but I don't have a specific ETA.

Thanks.

ScottJ,

If at all possible I really very, very much appreciate being on that list.

Thanks very much.

Scott,

For those of us who are not QC users, and I know this is early yet, but how is the open beta going?

I assume the better it goes there, the faster we can get increased history for eSignal?

Does the Extended Intraday Data coverage includes UK, Australian, and Canadian stocks ?

If so, will it be rolled out eSignal OnDemand customers ?

thx
