"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

"You are either overstaffed or people just don't have problems with your feed because customer support always answers the phone quickly." - Comment from Jay via Email

"And by the way, have to say this. I love the IQFeed software. It's rock solid and it has a really nice API." - Comment from Thomas via RT Chat

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

"I "bracket trade" all major news releases and I have not found one lag or glitch with DTN.IQ feed. I am very comfortable with their feed under all typical news conditions (Fed releases, employment numbers, etc)." - Comment from Public Forum

"I've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from Public Forum

"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 am enjoying the feed very much - so superior to the broker provided feed I was previously using." - Comment from George

"I like you guys better than *******...much more stable and a whole lot fewer issues." - Comment from Philip

"I just wanted to let u know that your data feed/service is by far the best!!! Your unfiltered tick data is excellent for reading order flow and none of your competitors delivers this quality of data!" - Comment from Peter via Email

DTN_LorenF -DTN Technical Support- Posts: 228 Joined: May 11, 2004	Posted: Apr 18, 2013 12:10 PM Msg. 5 of 13 Jludwig It looks like you were Referencing the bid ask volume for the size difference. We are scheduled to update the servers this weekend to correct that.
jludwig -Interested User- Posts: 9 Joined: Apr 18, 2013	Posted: Apr 22, 2013 09:08 AM Msg. 6 of 13 The sizes are still 100 times what they should be. They were 10,000 before this weekend's fix. Example: C.CPN versus CPNFF.PK The Pink Sheets is showing 100 times the size. I see a bid size of 6800 when it should show 68.

jludwig -Interested User- Posts: 9 Joined: Apr 18, 2013	Posted: Apr 22, 2013 09:47 AM Msg. 8 of 13 While I am on the topic of Pink Sheets, is there any way to get symbols consolidated? CPNFF Shows Last sale and trades while CPNFF.PK shows bid/ask data only with no last sale and trades. Does this make sense? CPNFF.PK should show Last and volume as well.
DTN_LorenF -DTN Technical Support- Posts: 228 Joined: May 11, 2004	Posted: Apr 22, 2013 10:36 AM Msg. 9 of 13 Jludwig We are matching the bid/ask vol with other data sources. Can you give me a example of the source you are using, using the CPNFF.PK symbol?
jludwig -Interested User- Posts: 9 Joined: Apr 18, 2013	Posted: Apr 22, 2013 10:57 AM Msg. 10 of 13 Right now, I am looking at CPNFF it shows 1x25 coming from ACTIV's feed On any other data provider, the .PK is not required
DTN_LorenF -DTN Technical Support- Posts: 228 Joined: May 11, 2004	Posted: Apr 22, 2013 12:25 PM Msg. 11 of 13 Jludwig WE have compared the bid/ask volume's with several Data sources and a Broker. we are matching what they have for the volume. I am still trying to access the site you sent.
jludwig -Interested User- Posts: 9 Joined: Apr 18, 2013	Posted: Apr 22, 2013 12:32 PM Msg. 12 of 13 I understand this. The question is: Should the size displayed be shown in shares or 100's of shares? Every other exchange is displayed as 100's of shares, and you are showing shares.
DTN_LorenF -DTN Technical Support- Posts: 228 Joined: May 11, 2004	Posted: Apr 22, 2013 01:06 PM Msg. 13 of 13 Jludwig That is the acual bid/ask volume data. That is the way we receive it from the Exchange without doing any calculations to it.
