LG,
I agree that it would be nice to have longer intraday data history. I had that concern also. However, the stability and speed of the data more than outweighs that IMO. I switched to eSignal feed about two weeks ago. Best thing I ever did.
To be honest, the eSignal feed is BORING! You don't get that adrenaline rush like you do with QFeed...
Yes, nothing like a QFeed server failure in the middle of a trade to get the old heart pumping. Or watching your charting App crash (InvestorRT, RavenQuote, QCharts) just when you don't want it to. Now that's a rush! Or watching your system memory go past 200Mb when running a complex formula or download data! Just tingles my tender parts thinking about it. What fond memories... NOT!
With eSignal feed, it's like the Energizer bunny. Just keeps running and running and running...
IMO, the symbol limitation is minor compared to the major speed, quality and stability benefits.
OK, off my soapbox.
Regards,
Dan. |
