OPINIONS: IB vs eSignal for Euro market data

[turboscottomatic]

Hi,

I am looking to start short-term day trading (scalping) some European markets from about 3-7 AM EST before I go to work. On first glance, I am looking at the BUND and the DAX.

I have eSignal data and IB as a broker, but no experience trading these markets. I have had a little success trading the usual US suspects: ES, ER2, YM, etc. Anyone have any opinions regarding the speed, accuracy, and quality of the feeds from IB vs eSignal?

Any opinions regarding tradable world markets outside of the usual US workday are also appreciated. I work an 8-5 in New York - my job is intense and I can't watch the markets while I am working. I am likely looking to trade the Euro markets in the early AM, but could trade the Asian markets after work in the PM. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks, Scott

Eurex only updates 1 per second (aproximately) unlike other exchanges where you get each tick. The data feed between eSignal and IB is likely irrelevant since both feeds update sub 1 second.
