Product Review: eSignal 10 & Advanced Get Edition (pt 2) by Barbara Star, PhD
eSignal is a leading provider
of real-time quotes, charting,
and information for the
trading community. Part 1
of this review dealt with the features available to traders who subscribe
to eSignal version 10. That version
offers a platform that gives traders
access to a full range of tools and services,
including real-time and end-ofday
quotes for stocks, commodities,
mutual funds, options, and forex prices.
It also incorporates charts, indicators,
news, research, scanners, alerts,
backtesting capabilities, custom study
creation, and integrated trading with
several direct-access brokerages. Some
of those features can be seen in the
customized workspace in Figure 1.
For many traders the basic platform
fits the bill for their trading needs. But
for traders who want to kick it up a
notch with indicators and strategies not
available elsewhere, eSignal also offers
an Advanced GET edition. Advanced
GET contains all the features of eSignal
10, but unlike the basic platform that can
be leased on a monthly or annual basis,
the Advanced GET edition is only available by purchasing the software.
As with the standard
version 10, data and exchange
fees are extra.
The “GET” in Advanced
GET stands for “Gann and
Elliott Trader.” The program
contains proprietary tools
based on Gann, Elliott, and Fibonacci calculations that may be used
on any price chart and in any time frame.
With such broad applicability, it is equally
appropriate for use by mutual fund traders
as by currency traders and by intraday
traders as well as swing traders and longterm
investors. The package includes
two other components — the Advanced
GET scanner and the dashboard — both
of which are designed to be used in
conjunction with Advanced GET tools
and strategies.
