>> ensign can only download historical data if esignal has it... esignal does not keep historical options data unfortunately. not even one days worth... it's only when you start... and that's kind of hard to collect all data for all option series I may be interested in looking at in advance. there are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of possible option series I may be interested in.<< True enough. I don't do options and didn't know that. I run into symbol availability problems all the time, no matter what feed, forcing me to resort to end of day providers for some data. >> also does anyone notice a "flashing" when charts are drawn on esignal and ensign? I've noticed this w/ several different charting packages, but not w/ qcharts. "flashing" is still noticeable when using a white background, not so w/ qcharts. (i'm talking interval/minute charts here, down to 1min) << I note this on my 5 min ES chart but not on the 1M chart. Teresa isn't noting the problem on any of her charts. So I'm going to hunt down an explanation since it doesn't make any sense! PS: You should see TradeStation 2000i flash. It makes drawing trendlines during market hours almost impossible on fast moving symbols.
