"With HUGE volume on AAPL and RIMM for 2 days, everyone in a trading room was whining about freezes, crashes and lag with *******, RealTick, TS and Cyber. InvestorRT with IQFeed was rock solid. I mean SOLID!" - Comment from Public IRC Chat

"I noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable." - Comment from Ron in Utah

"I was on the phone with a friend who uses CQG and right after the Fed announcement, CQG was as much as 30 seconds behind DTN.IQ. Some quotes were off by as much as 15-18 cents. Your feed never missed a beat." - Comment from Roger

"I started a trial a few weeks back before the market went wild. DTN.IQ didn’t miss anything and beat my other provider. I decided to stay with you because of the great service through all the volatility." - Comment from Mike

"I ran your IQFeed DDE vs. my broker vs. a level II window for some slow-moving options. I would see the level II quote change, then your feed update instantaneously. My broker's DDE, however, would take as much as 30 seconds to update. I am not chasing milliseconds, but half a minute is unacceptable." - Comment from Rob

"This beats the pants off CQG, I am definitely switching to the ProphetX 3.0!" - Comment from Stephen

"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email

"Thank you so much - awesome feed, awesome service!" - Comment from Greg via Email

"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom

"I will tell others who want to go into trading that DTN ProphetX is an invaluable tool, I don't think anyone can trade without it..." - Comment from Luther

Author	Topic: Using ethernet feeds for satellite fills? (2 messages, Page 1 of 1)
Atari -Interested User- Posts: 6 Joined: Feb 12, 2007	Posted: Feb 22, 2007 08:39 PM Msg. 1 of 2 I noticed in another thread here that if you are a satellite feed subscriber you can purchase the net based feeds at 1/2 price (correct?) for historical data fills. My question is if you are logging all trades for all US equities via the satellite feed, how do you know if you miss some trades? Are there sequential id numbers for the trades per stock? How do you know what to fill? Thanks

For example, a large storm comes through and knocks out the satellite signal. You could then fill in data for the day. It isn't meant to fill in data for people who are in need of the full market. It is for people feeding a client application for technical analysis with a limited number of symbols. If you are in need of something that can truly fill in lost data at the tick level for the entire market, our NxCore is the best Option. The entire feed is Internet based, and if you ever loose connection or have trouble, you can quicky and easily have the system fill in the missing data (automatically).
