Data Provider?

Is CQG off the scale when it comes to costs for reliable data?
by the sounds of these messages the going rate seems somewhere between $20/$200 I'm guessing CQG at about $1k for all european/us exchanges/quotes/news/tools. Do you really get a comparable service/such a greater return for the underspend? I've been using esignal for a couple of months and it is comparable to CQG, but the european data lags when the us comes on or gets busy so then you miss your exit/entry? stop trading? miss opportunity? pay up for CQG? 4 x cost but then you have the data, albeit with all the bells and whistles too? Anybody else using CQG?
Congratulations to all for your contributions to the site

Welcome to T2W !

I don't use CQG, but am always being told (or so it seems) by 'professional' winning traders that there is nothing to touch CQG for data speed and reliability. One of these days I shall get around to trying it out for myself ...

I trade using IB for execution and eSignal for data but more and more I am beginning to feel that I could do just as well with IB and Quotetracker – more I know less perfect data I need.

The change of trading style from frantic scalping to more relaxed larger time frame trading led to more profitable way of doing business.

So, is the infallible real time data feed overrated? For me it would seem so.

I use a satellite feed www.tenfore.com removes the slow afternoon internet problem. I keep trading and feed separate.
Happy trading,

Thanks for the input

Does anyone know where I can get cost effective intraday data that can be downloaded at the end of the day preferabley in ascii format.

Thanks

I'm sure it's been covered many times, but can anyone update me on Mytrack/Sierra charts?

I currently use ADVFN chartS, but they are cumbersome & I'm getting fed up with it.

I don't want to give up the advfn subs yet as I have LII - although not really using it much right now as I'm concentrating on the UKX.

So I'm looking for a cheap intraday solution - with good charting facilities to trade the UKX and I like the look of Sierra.

The concerns I have are that I have heard the charts don't update historically. Is this right? How do people manage to draw trendlines etc if this is so?

I've also noticed that mytrack data is often different to Sharescope, which worries me?

I'd be really grateful for some help,

Thanks

ps Trader333,

Investorease do an cheap update which can be downloaded several times a day.
