Can i connect to Forex.com (live account) and connected to Esignal as historical data

[Greenmoney21]

Hi,

I've just sign up for a live account at forex.com.

Since forex.com is providing Forexcharts (by esignal) for free if you fund the account more than $1k, and forexcharts has data manager as well.

Can i connect to forex.com (account 1 - to trade live) and then connect / use as backup data to esignal from data manager that forexcharts uses (using forex.com second account because they do not allow single account to connect to two charting software at the same - for backup data and historical data)?

Hope this can be done


Thank you

Unfortunately, this is not possible with the complimentary Forexchart feed by eSignal. However, it is possible with their 'normal' data feed. More information can be found in the link below.

How much will it cost me per-month to sign-up with esignal for historical data and live for forex.

Can i use E-signal for live and historical data and forex.com to just to key-in trades? I dont want to use two different providers data, coz later they wont be the same if we reload the chart later on.

Thanks

It is best to contact eSignal regarding their pricing model.

You can connect to eSignal first and Gain second to accomplish this. More information can be found at the link below.

Gain Support informed a mutual client the following regarding the complimentary eSignal feed.

"Esignal has recently upgraded their software. The version that you have is the new version. They have taken tighter security measures with this new version of their charts. This means that you cannot connect eSignal with platforms such as Ninja Trader. They have to run separately. I apologize for this inconvenience but we must supply eSignal's upgraded software in order for the charts to function properly."

Correct, the complimentary eSignal feed can't be used in NinjaTrader.

[Greenmoney21]

Can this process be done in futures? Since its goin to be the same data feed provider once NT is upgraded? Or cant at all?

You can connect to eSignal in NinjaTrader if you subscribe to their data feed, but not the complimentary feed provided via Gain.

As you can see in the link below, eSignal supports futures, equities, forex and indices data.

I suggest to create a Gain demo connection using the instructions in the link below.

In addition, all supported data feed providers and what services they offer are listed at the link I included in my previous post.

Unfortunately, we do not have pricing information listed per data feed. It is best to contact the provider regarding this inquiry.

Hi jason,

I have demo account from gain for NT. But im not happy with the historical data, even NT Server's Historical data its not reliable.

I love to NT as my platform because of the support and great platform.

Since i have no alternative, i need to come extra $ for reliable live & historical data.

Do you know any cheapest provider (includes ticks data) for Forex?

Thank you

eSignal and IQFeed at this time. Barchart.com which we jus introduced has FX but only 1 minute snap shot data for FX.

If NT can't use the complimentary esignal feed offered by gain, these web page should be changed, because it let the viewer think the opposite:

This text should be changed, as it is not fair to NT users:
