Extended Historical Data, Hot Lists, Sector Lists, 50+ New Data
Fields and Numerous Enhancements Added to Latest Update to Award-Winning
Financial Software
eSignal, a division of Interactive Data Corporation (NYSE: IDC)
and a leading provider of streaming, real-time financial market data,
news, analytics and decision-support tools for professional and
individual traders, today announced the release of eSignal®
10.5, a significant update to its award-winning flagship software.
eSignal 10.5 enables active traders to manage their portfolios more
effectively through access to a broader range of content and historical
data.
Among the key additions to the software is extended intraday historical
data, which dramatically increases the availability of intraday data
beyond its previous limits. The update allows users to access 12 years
of minute-based bar data for North American equities and indexes, and 2
years of North American, European and Asian futures, Forex and
treasuries. The new extended historical data will be especially helpful
to back testers who require large amounts of historical data to track
the performance of their strategies across all types of market patterns
and conditions.
Also included in the new eSignal 10.5 is Hot Lists, a powerful tool for
scanning markets automatically and immediately identifying trading
opportunities by highlighting traditional gainers, losers, and volume
lists. Hot Lists also perform unique scans, such as the Unusual Volume,
Most Volatile and Trade Rate Hot Lists, the last of which displays the
fastest trading stocks in the previous minute. In addition, the new
Sector Lists give users the ability to list which symbols are in
specific sectors, create watch lists and insert symbols into a quote
window for additional sorting and analysis.
“We are confident professional users will appreciate the sector lists
and additional data fields now available in eSignal 10.5, and active
traders in the retail market will be pleased with the increase in
historical data,” said Chuck Thompson, president of eSignal.
