Short Swing Trading

eSignal
Charting Software

eSignal is an excellent charting package in it's own right. It is further enhanced by the SST ProPlus (end of day) or SST DayTrader (intra day) Plug-ins which run within the eSignal program (or "plug into" eSignal).

The recommended version of eSignal for BOTH plug-ins is eSignal Premier which is excellent for both end of day as well as real time (intra day) trading.

In addition to eSignal Premier, the SST ProPlus plug-in will run in conjunction with eSignal End-of-Day. The plug-ins will not work with eSignal Basic. Advanced GET users can use the plug-in provided they have eSignal Version 10 or later.

eSignal Premier version is fantastic and can be obtained on a one month trial*. This is the version I am running myself and recommend. The benefit of this version is that it has End of Day and Real Time prices so when you select the daily chart, the latest candle/bar (today's) will move in Real Time when the market is open. Having access to intra-day charts also means that you can use both the SST ProPlus and/or the SST DayTrader if you wish.

eSignal End-of-Day does not supply data for UK stocks. You can only check your charts outside the US trading day (when the market has closed). This means, for UK traders who trade the US market, 9:30 pm - 2:00 pm the following day. The SST ProPlus plug-in will work perfectly with full functionality (predictive arrows to give potential entry points and all stop levels displayed for the next day). So if you trade the US market and are happy to do all your chart work, back testing and optimization outside of US trading hours then eSignal End of Day is fine. There is NOT a free trial period or discount for the eSignal EoD version and subscription is paid annually.

Switching to eSignal
If you currently subscribe to a different charting package then you are obviously considering a switch to eSignal. This can seem an important decision because of having to get used to a different environment. I have found that almost everyone who has switched to eSignal like it so much that they do not consider switching back to their old charting software. Obviously there is a learning curve to go through but having been through it myself, it is not so bad.

I would strongly suggest that you give eSignal a try by taking advantage of the free one month offer*on eSignal Premier. It is an excellent charting package and capable of doing far more than most traders will ever need, enhanced even further by either or both of the SST Plug-ins. I personally had to make the switch and do not regret it for a moment. After all, this is the only real overhead we have in trading and if we are risking our money on the markets, we MUST use the best tools available to help us.

The monthly subscription for eSignal Premier, is approximately (July 06) $115 (appx £62.90). To subscribe to New York Stock exchange costs $1. To add other exchanges such as European (inc UK) or Australian is an additional amount between $1 and $14 pm. Almost any exchange can be obtained. These rates are not bad at all for quality Real Time software. Specialty markets such as commodities or Forex are more expensive to add. There is also an option to have eSignal Premier with delayed rather than real time data (E.G. 20 mins for UK stocks) which is fine for EoD trading with the SST ProPlus plug-in and this makes the data cheaper.

The End of Day version cost is approximately (July 06) $295 payable annually. discount is not available but a 30 day trial is. This is very suitable for EoD trading and the SST ProPlus Plug-in works fine with this version. The only thing to remember is that you can only do back testing and optimization as well as viewing your trade alerts when the US market is closed. Only US stocks, futures Indices and mutual funds are available.

SST subscriber DISCOUNT
Through a special arrangement Short Swing Trading and TellTrade (who programmed the plug-in) have with eSignal, we have arranged for you to receive a discount on eSignal Premier which is the version we recommend for both plug-ins. We receive no commission or benefit for this but are happy to help you in a switch from your current charting software.

For eSignal Premier or any other Real Time version you will receive a discount of $50 per month for the first two months of subscription. Total discount of $100.00. In order to receive this special discount offer you MUST obtain eSignal by clicking on the special SST link below.

* Free trial: If you cancel your subscription to eSignal Premier within the first 30 days they will refund your first month subscription to eSignal at whatever rate you have paid but not including exchange (data) fees.

Should I get eSignal first?
Yes. It is best to get eSignal and have it up and running as a charting package and then add the SST Plug-in. If you need to install eSignal first please make a note of the SST Plug-in web site address so that you can return to it later:
