I use TS 2000i with http://www.traderssoft.com/ts/msrt/ bolts onto IB and works fine demo is free but only allows 2 instruments to be collected.

I have used Hyperserver for about 6 months to collect DDE data to feed to TS2000i and Hypertools for converting EoD data.
Both work fine with no glitches. Re the activation code, for both tools it came through within an hour of payment online.
If you email Robert at Hyperserver I am sure he will let you have a short trial. Mention David sent you. I will pop him an email to alert him of this thread so he can comment directly if he feels so inclined.
Hope that helps

There is no simple answer here. The real answer is yes and no. It really depends on what you are planning to do and how you trade. If you trade and collect data only during 9:30am and 4:15pm then it is fine. If you are a professional and need data 24 hrs then beware. When session I closes at 4:30pm (EST US time), the data goes offline and you may not be able to reconnect (especially if you are using Globalserver (GS)). You will have to shut down and reconnect manually. If you reconnect before 4:30pm then you will have to disconnect and reconnect all the symbols in GS after 4:30 to plot data because GS willnot reconnect to IB automatically - IB disabled this at their end January 2006. This manageable but IB does maintenance. The TWS maintenance time default is 1am although you can change that. Incidentally - there are more options in the GS Maintenance tab than are displayed and you will need to change your registry to display them. For example, you can prevent flushing of data and thus override the HIstory to Save settings. Sowhen IB does maintenance, the system goes offline and although there are Autostart programs to reconnect, the data willnot plot because of GS-IB issues.IB does not have a clue what is going on and is not very helpful. This is the reason why I am looking for an alternative data feed. Esignal is good but if you collect a lot of data, you can have delays in the feed. Hope this helps a little. Perhaps others can offer different suggestions.
Cheers

I have contacted Robert for a trial demo ( I wanted 7 days only to span a weekend) few months ago but he told me they don' do it. He told me to buy it because they have a 30day money back guarantee. Seems that different people get different info from Robert.
