One of the frustrations of using MetaStock with eSignal data is that the former doesn't work with live prices from the latter for non-US markets. I've queried this with both Equis and eSignal and it seems that the onus is on Equis to make configuration changes to allow MetaStock to access eSignal's international servers.

Equis support tell me that a decision was taken not to implement these changes - presumably in an effort to make Reuters data seem a more attractive option than eSignal.

I've attached a poll to this thread - so if you're a MetaStock with eSignal customer and would like to be able to use Metastock to see non-US markets, please vote.
