Here is the current list of what we are thinking about for the eSignal 7.2 release. A beta will be available in a few weeks. It includes a lot of data improvements and enhancements we have been working on for some time.
Data Enhancements
1. Market Depth -- Market Depth refers to a more detailed level of data that is available from the exchanges and includes such data as:
SuperMontage - QuoteView, PowerView (includes DepthView) and Total View
ECNs - Island, Arca and Instinet
Regional Options Display
2. Fundamental Data -- We will be expanding our fundamental data offering.
3. Direct Source for International Futures Data -- Before the end of the year we will be sourcing all our international futures data including LIFFE, SIMEX, IPE, EUREX and Euronext from FTID's network resulting in better, more reliable data.
4. Historical International Data -- We'll be expanding our international history data beyond the current 2 year offering to 5, 6 and in some cases 7 years.
5. Single Stock Futures -- Single Stock Futures from OneChicago and Nasdaq Liffe Markets is not software dependent and is due to be released on November 8
6. Mix and Match -- The ability to mix real-time and delayed exchanges in one product is being made available on a limited basis beginning October 25
Advanced Charting Enhancements
1. Better Drawing Tools - The line tools can be selected by a simple click, plus the anchors are now "grabbable". (No need to use the move or copy tools from the line toolbar anymore.) A right-click menu is available when clicking on a line providing access to to Edit, Copy and Remove functionality
2. Tick Volume Bars -- This will allow a user to enter an interval of something like 5000V to create bars that each represent 5k worth of ticks.
3. EFS Enhancements
EFS Performance Monitor (on the View menu) lets you monitor the amount of CPU usage of a particular study
EFS can now talk to broker plug-ins allowing you to develop a study or strategy that can initiate a trading action.
EFS now allows you to include a study within a study using "Built-ins", (eg. a MOV of RSI). The features greatly improves the EFS language by reducing the amount of work our users need to do to create certain formulas and provides additional CPU relief.
4. Spreads update in real-time -- Spread charts were previously updating at the end of an interval only. Now they'll update as each tick comes in for either symbol in the spread.
5. Replay / Training Mode -- We'll be combining a replay and training mode of the advanced charting in a single GUI to give the users the ability to capture tick data to a file for later playback. They'll be able to replay the data into a chart with the goal of seeing how their indicators and strategies played out. This will have a fast forward and reverse capability as well as the ability to step through the data a bar at a time.
6. Alerts on Studies -- Users will now be able to tie and alert pop up or sound to a study through EFS so they'll be alerted to buy and sell opportunities
7. New Formula Studies from Market Experts -- We'll be adding proprietary indicators from John Bollinger and Joe DiNapoli that will be available for free.
eSignal Central Enhancements
1. New File Sharing enhancements such as the ability to publish a PDF file instead of the actual image and automatically uploading files to the most recent file list make File Sharing easier to use.
2. Instant Messaging (IM) and Chat-- Using a technology known as IRC, eSignal will support a new chat window to let users communicate in real-time on any of the IRC chat rooms on the net. We'll also support instant messaging, the ability for users to chat one-on-one through eSignal.
