The topic title is misleading. Even though you targeted a WealthSignals forum, you couldn't have chosen a better location for posting your concerns. MS123 LLC is a small company, and we've been developing WealthSignals since late 2011 as a high priority project. Consequently, almost everything else had to be deferred. Naturally, WealthSignals remains our primary goal:

WealthSignals Limited Time Offer! Get 2 years worth of publishing service FREE* ($400 value!)

I understand your frustration but the Fidelity queue is filled up until Version 6.6, with several new features planned to appear in Wealth-Lab. Let's address each question:

QUOTE:
Where multithread optimizator ?

Sadly, Wealth-Lab's optimizer interface is not suitable for developing custom multi-thread optimizers. It just was not designed to parallelize optimization runs.

QUOTE:
Where ESignal datafeed ?

Probably where the "Esignal .NET API" is. ;) There's little reason in relying on eSignal's legacy COM API to develop a solution that won't work in 64-bit Wealth-Lab.

QUOTE:
Where IB datafeed and broker adapter ?

It's not a secret that MS123 will not be releasing broker providers. The IB data provider has been deferred, as I'm unable to continue development without a real IB account.

QUOTE:
Where dynamically changing Watch List ?

"Dynamic WatchList Support" has been deferred by Fidelity. Perhaps "the bang for the buck" would be too little.

It may never be possible to support the hundreds and hundreds of providers that are out there, but if you browse through extensions we're connected to nearly three dozen, most with free access to data for backtesting, including streaming (Y!, MSN, and google, for example).

For a paid-streaming solution, IQFeed is available - it's an excellent provider with good pricing and product offering, frequently enhanced, and concentrating on IQFeed makes sense for our limited resources. Don't rule out an eSignal provider adapter in the future though. I just checked and it appears they're finally offering a .NET API; as I recall from years ago, connecting to an outdated interface was a stumbling block.

Edit:
Well, their language-support page specifies ".NET Languages" [for] 32-bit Windows, which actually sounds like COM-Interop, i.e., no change from before.

Cone for example - Esignal have 10 years intraday data from US stocks, and have 4 years intraday data from EU stocks, where you find this free data ?

ESignal DoD cost 50$ in month

IQFeed not have European and Asia stock exhange

you need to support the most popular providers IQFeed, ESignal, IB for trader's, this is not 100, even if it would be WLD x32

But without real IB broker adapter, you not have perspective, many traders trade intraday stock's and systems.

As described above, see the creation of an anonymous adapter.

And those of them who survive, eventually come to trading EOD. :)

I see your point Anatoly, but I'm just a soldier -- not a decision maker.

To close the question, motivated traders are welcome to create broker providers on their own while MS123 is not allowed to publish such extensions by agreement with Fidelity - the primary developer and owner of the software.

Thanks for your offer Alexandre, and thanks Anatoly for making this point.

I passed my IB static/streaming data provider to another developer with a real IB account.
