Terry, I started using DTN (for RT stock quotes). I've had nothing but grief. Very slow backfills, no EOD/intraday merging as with eSignal.
I started my subscription with them in February last year. I received an email from them in the summer stating that they would be increasing their prices effective from when my current plan expires, which is in about two weks time. I sent them an email stating that I didn't want an automatic renewal. I didn't get a response, so I've just replaced my credit card just to be safe... Hope this helps, Paul --- In amibroker@yahoogroups.com, "Terry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Recently I did a comparison of eSignal to DTN (IQFeed) for trading futures. > Here are my findings: > > > > DTN: CBOT E-Mini's are free, but this is only YM, Gold, Silver, Corn and > some others.
