Good Value, if a bit flakey at times
7/10
Ensign is good value for money. I just use the fxcm feed that comes with it. You can customise any drawing object or study or indicator and switch between customisations v quickly with the scroll wheel. If you're into it you can probably produce a study to wash the dishes!
It lets itself down a bit on being flakey in some areasl like sometimes 'losing' fibs from charts, not always auto refreshing itraday data, not deselectting drawing objects. Also a min of 2 mouse clicks are required to do things like change t/frames, open a linked chart from the quote board - there are no dedicated buttons to common drawing objects like horizontal lines. Doesn't sound a big problem, but every extra mouse click is less brain power spent on trading and I'm up and down t/frames a lot.
Must say that support is second to none - chat, phone or email. you'll alwys get a response swiftly from people who know the program and they can remote your machine v easily if necessary. (The disappearing fibs are being looked at as i type).
Despite the flakiness and lack of direct buttons, it still gets a good 7 out of 10 here.

Worth the money
8/10
Simple, effective, highly customizable, robust and handles data better than just about everything else I have used especially tick, volume and range charts. Several prop features that make it a class of it's own (Demo, Playback, SimBroker, Pesavento patterns and the ability to make significant customization to everyday indicators). Arrington (developer) might be a bit of an eccentric but he's got a winner. Even makes the garbage feeds seems true. Not for everybody.
