LG, I have the same dependence on intraday history on demand that you do. This has kept me from even bothering to look at the other packages. Every time a new product is mentioned on the thread I ask the poster about intraday history, and have always gotten a negative response. I've learned to adapt to QCharts data unreliability with reliable quotes from Interractive Brokers and BarCharts.com, but would certainly consider another product that provided better data quality and easy intraday history options. Please continue to post any discoveries you make in your search for another vendor. Esteban

LG, I'm using TS2000i. It may well be unavailable now - I've not asked them. If it is discontinued, then I guess TS users are on borrowed time, although I suspect they will at least provide service patches from time to time. Seems like there are no ideal answers out there that fit everyone's needs...

A bit more info for you LG: The problem with ESignal in combination with Ensign for me was intraday histories. I trade stocks more than anything else. Ensign may be able to archive intraday histories, but on a demand basis, I could only get ten days. I would imagine that this is now 30 days for Ensign - the limit of the eSignal client. I wonder when 60 days will come? Just as an FYI, and this may not work for you or anyone else, but what I have done is determine which stocks trade 4 million shares or more on an average basis on NYSE and Nasdaq (averaged over 1 year), and I collect data on all of those issues. 90% of the time when I am interested in trading an issue, or someone asks me about an issue, its in my list. For my own trading purposes I do not trade anything on the US market that doesn't fall in this list. I like liquidity and daily volume. Mike
