Just signed up to a trial of MC, looks good for the money, but can anyone tell me if there's an option to put grids/dot background on the charts? Hard to read without it. There seems to be no vertical demarcation of days, which is unforgiveable if true.
Also, seems crazy to not have the option to change the colour of the bars. I hate red/green bar charts, and black and white candles. Why no simple option to change colours? You can change the indicator colours.
Am I missing something?

There's a cross hair tool at the top of the chart between the line chart and the bar chart icons,just click on it.
I don't think there is any option to change candle colours, if you want sophistication you'll have to pay for e-Signal proper or for a lower price look at Sierra charts.

Anyone else lost FTSE 100 today? DAX is OK, but can't get FTSE going at all. There's no tech support this early, which is the usual drawback of US services.
It was going so well, not sure if I'm going to use this now...It's the second time it's happened.
Whether you pay £130 or £10, there always seem to be problems.

Well, FTSE is not working again.
They may be 'working on it', but I doubt it. If the Dow/S&P chart wasn't working I think it would be fixed, or they would be out of business quickly.
If its still busted tomorrow without explanation then I need a new provider.

Salmacis -
I wouldn't know, because they haven't responed to my message on their board. Strangely enough, they are responding to another guy who posted earlier. I wasn't even harsh...
Strange how their reps are keen to flog it on here, but nowhere to be seen when it dies.
Maybe ADVFN's new charts will actually work, but I doubt it.

Actually, the guy eSignal are responding to is me 
. Have to use a different nick on eSignal 'cos the one I use here was already taken. No idea why I have been favoured over you Ghost Dog - I saw your messages.
Still not able to display the MC charts - that's for 2 days now - although I had no problems on Monday or Tuesday. So far 50% of my trial has currently been "unusable" as it is the chart I really want .

Yeah, they're responding to me now, and trying to fix it, but it's still not working.
Got this confidence inspiring response from their US tech support:
"I have checked the Streaming Chart for this symbol and it is displaying ok. I am not seeing the problems you are reporting nor have we had reports of problems with the Streaming Charts. I will check with Quality Assurance to see what may be the cause of this issue and how we can fix it".
Uh?
I've sent it to their customer services people with the suggestion that they get some management involved, as their Euro launch seems to be fast collapsing. No sign of the sales team...perhaps they ought to get on their managments back.
Anyway, I'm not paying to be a Beta tester, so they haven't got long. It's a shame, could be perfect as a cheap Java service. But I suppose that's the problem, you get what you pay for.

True, but he was on £50k plus options for reading it. I think he had 'SQL for dummies' in the desk drawer as backup.
FTSE still down, but I'm not getting at them again. I feel sorry for the UK guy, because it's not his fault, and I remember being in his position, sweating, with deadlines and crashing IT all around. I'll never put myself into that again.
At least the US charts work. Back to the S&P.
