Hi,

I'm currently with eSignal and not happy with the delay that occurs with quotes, especially when the market is moving quickly. I'm looking for a charting software program that can relicate the features I have on my eSignal Pages.

I trade prop remote through a firm in NYC, and trade U. S. equities on one minute live charts throughout the day. I execute through my firm's trading platform so would not be executing through Ninja nor need any of those features. Here's what I do need.
A Quote Window with Level I quotes that include:
Symbol
Previous Closing Price
Change from Previous Closing Price
Percent Change
Open, High, Low, And Last Traded Price
Bid, and Bid Size
Ask, and Ask Size
Cumulative Volume
This Quote Window needs to be linked with both a scrolling Time and Sales Window, and a Bar Price Chart with Volume Bars displayed below the Price Bars. I need to be able to see 1 minute bars and quickly change timeframes without having to open multiple new pages or go through multiple steps to do so.

Then I need a separate Quote Window with all the features above except Bid/Ask data for a list of Indicies. This needs to be linked to its own Bar Price Chart, also with volume.

The people at at least two charting companies seemed to have difficulty understanding the concept of "linked." Linked means that each Quote Window and Price chart are tied together and update simultaneously.

I have also been very unimpressed with so-called Support at both of these. eSignal has great Support, but that's no good if quotes are slow. The only time I would need this is in the initial set-up - I do not program, do not use automated trading, do not need "indicators," or any of the rest of it.

Forgive me if I sound a bit harsh, but I have been frustrated by a lack of service and response from various companies. I'm looking for a data feed without quote problems - IQ Feed seems to think they can fulfill this - and a decent basic charting program for intraday, very fast scalp-type trading on a pro level; not retail, swing, or postion trading.

Thanks for any time and help - I look forward to more information and answers to my concerns and questions!
