"The new version of eSignal has been built with three client service pillars in mind: Insight, Indication and Interaction.

They are contributing and participating in building a trading ecosystem that is continuously creating new ideas and sharing trading insight."

"Social media is the 21st century news feed for financial conversations," said Igor Gonta, CEO and Founder Market Prophit. "Market Prophit is pleased to offer our unique, social media sentiment indicators as part of this latest version of eSignal."
