Symbols Viewing at a Time

[ektoras]

I would like to use esignal as a data provider for a trading system I have developed. I have a question regarding the number of symbols "viweing at a time".

I Know about the limitation of 50 symbols you can monitor using esignal basic. However, I want to retrieve the data from a different software, Neoticker. So, I would be running a trading system every day at some specific time, and I need the intraday data for the last day, for a portfolio of 300 stocks. I dont want to monitor the stocks all the day... I just want the instraday data at a specific time.

Is this possible when using different software to retrieve the data, or you have to pay extra money ?


thanks for any help

Hi ektoras,

Several months back, we increased the symbol count on Basic from 50 to 100 viewable at a time. This basically means that only 100 symbols can be monitored by our servers at a time. You have access to hundreds of thousands of issues, depending on what you subscribe to, but only 100 will stream RT data at any given moment.

If you don't need all 300 stocks at the exact moment in time, you should be able to load 100 symbols, update your system, load the next 100, update, etc. In theory, by rotating portfolios of 100 symbols each, you could grab data on thousands and thousands of issues under the Basic plan.

Hope that helps.
