Business Wire
eSignal, an Interactive Data (NYSE: IDC) business and a leading

analytics and decision-support tools for professional and
individual traders, today released eSignal (R) 8.0. This latest
version of the company's award-winning software provides additional
market data from global exchanges, including expanded Forex and
treasury data, as well as a host of product enhancements. "eSignal
8.0 is a much stronger analytical package now with additional
global market data, enhanced information management, and a number
of other remarkable features," said Robin Verderosa, senior

Forex, or options will appreciate the efficiency of eSignal 8.0 in
producing news and analytics through one of the most expansive
user-defined feature sets available. As a long-time industry leader

information from the Dow Jones Commodities News Services, along
with enhanced futures analytics ranging from continuous contracts
to a fully customizable Quoteboard, electronic volume, settlement
date, settlement price, and combined session symbols, as well as
several new add-on studies. Finally, for traders who prefer to
model and create their own individual studies or to perform
additional ad hoc analyses, eSignal 8.0 improves on its eSignal
Formula Script (EFS) with major modifications designed to
significantly reduce the amount of time needed to code. Data

Formula Script 2 (EFS2) eSignal 8.0 contains a major update to EFS,
eSignal's proprietary software for creating customized studies.
Known now as EFS2, this simple JavaScript language allows traders
to develop custom studies, access a series of customizable sample
formulas, and test their trading strategies over days, weeks or
years of historical data. Back testing is now simplified with EFS2
and the GUI enhancements because the tabs and graphs are much
easier to navigate, and designed to get the most out of this
valuable data. eSignal 8.0 with EFS2 allows increased use of
built-in studies, permits more concise coding, improves the ability
to create studies based on different intervals and/or symbols, and
adds support for building new studies. EFS2 is more accessible to
traders of all levels and dramatically reduces the time necessary
to develop additional customized studies. In one example, a
stochastic study that previously took 85 lines of code to develop
was completed with just 12 lines of code using EFS2. "eSignal
continues to impress me by creating features that provide
heightened visibility into very complicated markets that can be
both risky and rewarding," said Keth Comollo, eSignal 8.0 beta
user. "eSignal also makes it possible for me to create my own
specialized tools as necessary. With this latest release, eSignal
enables me to reach far beyond the basic software to define studies
and views that give me insight into markets in just the way I
want." Add-On Studies In addition to four new indicators, eSignal
8.0 includes three new add-on studies: -- The eMini-Master POLR
Series -- WaveTracker -- Price Gauge eSignal 8.0 also features
enhanced Hamzei Analytics "HotSpots", a special application of the
Support, Pivot and Resistance Levels, plus Intraday Volume Break
Out (IVBO), Directional Volatility (DV), and Central Intelligence
Difference (CI Diff) Indicators, as well as the EZ2Trade Charting
Collection with EZ2 Pivots and EZ2 Trailing Stops. Each indicator
brings investors an additional method for assessing and managing
risk and for recognizing patterns within the equities or futures
markets. Also new to eSignal 8.0 is Teresa Lo's PowerTools,
featuring new tools to back test and fine tune any trading symbol
and time frame. The position-sizing tool is designed to help
traders plan a transaction with the appropriate number of shares
and reduce size over time to maintain their specified equity risk.
Futures Analytics eSignal 8.0 includes several enhancements to
futures analytics, including continuous contracts and spreads. The
continuous contracts feature, available for U.S. and international
contracts, uses an intuitive symbol format designed to make it
easier to follow the front and forward months by eliminating the
need to change symbols between each contract's expiration. A newly
enhanced spread engine allows users the flexibility to control the
formatting of the data when creating user-defined spreads. Spread
symbols, on the other hand, can now be used in combination with
other symbols using the plus, minus, multiply or divide operators.
These spread symbols can be entered into the quote and chart window
for analysis. Other features for futures traders include
enhancements to the basic point and figure charts, improvements to
eSignal's market profile, and a new, fully customizable Quoteboard.
With the new Quoteboard, users can bring up a full list of fields
available simply by right clicking on any cell. Fields can be
arranged in any order and cells can grow or shrink automatically
based on the number of fields chosen. Availability eSignal 8.0 is
available immediately at no cost to all registered users of eSignal
