Any business that relies on market information and decision support tools can appreciate the value of reliable data, accessible from the road or office. As a global desktop solution, eSignal Pro offers in-depth, streaming, real-time and delayed data and news for stocks, futures, options, FX, Treasuries (Cantor Market Data) and indices from more than 125 exchanges worldwide.
Both independent advisors and broker/dealers seeking an enterprise-wide desktop solution will find that eSignal Pro helps them work more efficiently. With pre-defined screens and the ability to create their own, users can view content they use most often. Innovative, time-saving features, such as colour-coded window linking, provide a solution designed for the way they work.
An all-inclusive platform
eSignal Pro’s advanced charting includes hundreds of technical indicators, numerous chart types, such as marketprofile, tabular and candlestick, a comprehensive set of drawing tools, as well as the ability to create and modify formula studies.
Audio/video alerts can be set via an easy right click from a variety of fields. Time alerts will notify users of the open and close of a market.
For additional pools of liquidity, there’s market data from the LSE and Euronext, as well as from Canada’s TSX and the NASDAQ and NYSE in the US. Historical data is available for all security types – tick, daily, weekly and monthly.
Back testing and other analysis tools provide the opportunity to look at strategies from a total performance perspective and to dissect individual trades, measuring them in relation to time and evaluating consistency.
Streaming or snapshot option chains permit users to track the strike prices, expiration dates, put and call status for each underlying security and feature colour-coding for in-, near- and out-of-the money. Options-Plus, an advanced options analytics tool, facilitates analysis of existing and hypothetical positions and situations using features such as Position Quest, which instantly creates positions, and Position Performance Charts for building “what-if” scenarios.
eSignal Pro’s ease of use saves time with enhanced functionality – windows linked by common symbols, built-in screens and the ability to create customised screens, as well as pop-out windows for keeping track of information (for example, the news) separately.
Market-moving news from reputable sources such as Dow Jones can be searched for by symbol, service and/or keyword and viewed in several different modes.
To reduce the load on bandwidth, eSignal Pro can be configured for private connectivity to eSignal’s reliable servers with an Enterprise Server solution. It is also designed to run in a Citrix environment.
With eSignal Pro, exchanging real-time, delayed or historical data among third party applications to perform proprietary analysis is easy and can be done using a variety of technologies well suited to the purpose, including a desktop API, programming languages (such as C++ and Visual Basic), Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) linking, data export and QLink, next-generation data export.
