I have a live data feed for stock market data. My data provider is esignal.
I am connected to the internet through Cbeyond. Cbeyond tells me that my
network computer addresses are constantly changing. I also have Norton
Internet Security.

My question is, does my live data provider, esignal, have access to any
files on my computer, especially my data files in their program?

I am unfamiliar with the products/companies you have mentioned,
but in general things work as follows: someone makes a feed
available to you over the network, you have a network provider
that allows your system to get to others such as the feed, and,
(and this is the critical piece, which you may have not mentioned)
your system runs some software that is active on the network to
contact and receive from the feed and then render this to the
machine's user(s).
Now, everything runs as some account, including that piece that
grabs and shows the feed. Whatever that account is determines
what that piece of software is limited to doing based on the grants
and denies in effect for that account.
