How do I connect to the eSignal data feed?

Important Notice: TWS Version 10.45 and later no longer supports requesting market data from eSignal data source.

For TWS versions prior to 10.45:

To set up TWS to receive external market data via eSignal, proceed as follows:

  1. Open TWS and log into your account
  2. Click the File (or Edit, in Classic TWS layout) menu option and select Global Configuration
  3. Click on eSignal, enter your eSignal Username and Password and click on Apply and OK

Please Note

  • If you do not see eSignal in the upper part of the Global Configuration menu tree, click on the check-boxes next to Features at the bottom of the menu tree and make sure they are all selected. Then click Apply and OK.
  • This functionality has been discontinued as of TWS Version 10.45.
