Hi Arco, sorry I missed your post. Will reply shortly regarding Esignal....
Xerof
Esignal - www.esignal.com - recommend a good look around the site - there's plenty of info there incl minimum requirements for hardware www.esignal.com/download/- I would think you might get extremely frustrated with it if you're using a modem - best to have broadband, but there is a 'money back' "free" trial if you wanted to give it a go.
It is heavily weighted towards stocks rather than FX, but everything that works for stocks works for FX
Fees for Esignal premier (the only one with FX and advanced charting) cost me US1,020 for a pre-paid 12 months, plus US50 per month for FX price feed. That's annually repeating....
That might rattle your sporren;);)
Note that there are heaps of add-ons, all of which cost more money (there is an extensive list on the site of what's available)
The Advanced GET Studies package looks the most interesting as far as I'm concerned, the rest are proprietary products, marketed via Esignal
I've just noted that if you are a 'power user', which I would imagine you would be, i.e. dozens of charts, they recommend broadband or equivalent, so that might kill it for you anyway.
Support is brilliant - they have webinars for learning how to use it, advanced user seminars etc etc
To be honest I would not consider myself a heavy user of all the functions available yet, so I find it difficult to give a complete overview of its functionality.
BTW, are you sure you can't get broadband? Don't be put off by the 'self-test' which probably says you're marginal for a service - I'm apparently right on the edge, but it works fine
The Don Fisher DGL files apparently have a version that will work on Esignal - just subscribed to him....
not much help but have a look anyway
Xerof
No, you download the package to your hard drive, but live feed off the web obviously
Good Evening Xerof
Thanks for your comprehensive reply.
I do have broadband wired up but the engineer said he was unable to hear the pulse. He tried all sorts to no avail. Something to do with the exchange being over 5 k away was the excuse.
Anyway, theres light at the end of the tunnel. Broadband should be available within 12 months....in fact I have seen some blokes playing about in big holes - maybe thats fibre optic cable they were threading through. Fingers crossed.

Well, there's the irony, I've got broadband, but not sewerage.....

have you got your morning daily email from Max?
yes mate - rec'd at 12.03pm
thanks
i think hes stopped mine coz I havent replied to his ones asking for the advance 6 month subscription.
But I told him I wanted to evaluate till the end of Nov :(
The USD Index has had a daily close above the longer term resistance line for the first time this year.
I'm wondering if we are about to enter a trending market at last, but plenty of time for confirmation - a weekly close above 90.50 would be nice, but will wait to see what the market tells us on that score
NFP tonight - might be worth staying up or getting up for this time - our time zone really is lousy - makes it a long day....

Arco, do you use the spreadsheets using your EOD Rooter data for Gann calcs, or one of the available software files?
Seems to me to get more accuracy, the manual method would be the way, as the data feeds often have misquotes etc, which might distort the detail a little. Mind you I can see that must be very time consuming if monitoring a large number of currency pairs
TIA

Hi Xerof
I use Don's 'Martin' files together with Metastock/Rooters. Manual would be too time consuming.
