Broker Trade

Hi
Does anybody know is there a way to launch a external broker plugin application from ESignal?, something like on click of 'ActiveX Trade Button' in the main tool bar which which will launch the broker plug in application.

thanks

I don't believe there is a way to customize eSignal to launch an application that's outside of eSignal. Could you describe a situation where this would be helpful to have? Understanding this would help us to either build a solution, or provide an alternative.

Jay,

Since you can access external .dll's from EFS, wouldn't this provide a method for executing outside apps?

Very true, Garth! Thanks for posting that idea.

Prabhu, it may be tricky to implement, but it is possible with using DLL's and EFS to integrate a button on the chart to a DLL which could start an application as Garth mentioned.
