eSignal is an advanced charting and analysis platform with a long reputation among technical traders. It pairs deep charting with Market Profile, volume analysis, full-market scanning, and the EFS scripting language for building your own studies and strategies.
eSignal is a market-data and technical-analysis platform known for fast, institutional-grade data and deep charting. It is not a broker itself; it connects to your futures broker for execution. Through Discount Trading, eSignal routes orders to your account while you keep its analysis tools.
Data granularity runs from tick to yearly across futures, equities, currencies, and commodities. For traders who live in their charts and want to route orders without leaving them, eSignal pairs analysis and execution in one window.
It is a professional-grade package, and it suits traders who lean heavily on charting, scripting, and backtesting in their process.
Hundreds of technical indicators, sophisticated drawing tools, and multiple chart types, with data granularity from tick up to yearly.
eSignal Formula Script lets you write custom indicators, signals, and analysis techniques, then adjust them as markets change.
Backtest your EFS strategies against historical data, review performance metrics, and refine your approach before risking capital.
Real-time scanning and screeners combine technical and fundamental conditions. Save scan libraries, export to Excel, or push results to a watchlist.
A classic price ladder and chart trading let you route orders straight from your analysis to your broker.
Set audio and email alerts on price and indicator conditions so you do not have to watch every tick.
Track spreads, contract highs and lows, and a Fast Market Indicator for spotting busy markets at a glance.

View buy and sell orders at different price levels to read supply and demand zones (higher-tier data).
eSignal's reputation rests on data quality and speed. It delivers the caliber of real-time data that large institutions rely on, from tick up to yearly history, across futures, equities, currencies, and commodities.
For a charting platform, the feed is the foundation, and traders who depend on clean, fast data are usually the ones who gravitate to eSignal.
eSignal Formula Script, or EFS, is the platform's scripting language. You can write custom studies and trading signals, automate exit logic, and run it all inside the Advanced Charts.
Paired with the Strategy Analyzer, you can backtest that logic against historical data and study the performance before going live. It is a code-based workflow rather than a click-and-run one, which suits traders comfortable building their own systems.
The market scanner turns your criteria into a live filter. Combine technical conditions with fundamental metrics, save your screens, and refresh them in real time while the market is open.
Results can be exported to Excel or pushed into a watchlist, so a scan can feed straight into the next decision rather than living in isolation.
Because eSignal connects to your futures broker, you can trade from the chart or the price ladder without switching applications. Through Discount Trading, your orders route to your account.
Keeping analysis and order entry in the same window cuts the steps between spotting a setup and acting on it.
