"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

"Thank God for your Data Feed as the only Zippers I see are on my pants (LOL), and no more 200 pip spikes to mess up charts." - Comment from Spiro via Email

"I was with ******* for 4 years at $230 a month, this is a huge savings for me, GOD BLESS YOU PEOPLE," - Comment from T.S. via Email

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

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

"I've been using IQFeed 4 in a multi-threaded situation for the last week or two on 2600 symbols or so with 100 simultaneous daily charts, and I have had 100% responsiveness." - Comment from Scott

"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 am very pleased with the DTNIQ system for quotes and news." - Comment from Larry

Due to limitation of Multicharts, I can not do some analysis. May I use Excel DDE or database to request market data from IQFeed. Then I could do analysis on my Excel or Database. Thanks for your great help! Charles

Located in start/all programs/IQfeed/sample DDE Spreadsheet. Ther are other softwares you can use if they would work for you along with what you are using.

All three of these 3rd party applications may help you accomplish what you need. The first two are Excel Add-in type applications while QCollector will pull data from IQFeed and store it to files you can then easily export/import into other software. You can use these software applications at the same time as Multicharts, so they are quite complimentary. If all you need is streaming data into Excel, you can do that natively with our DDE linking. To get started, use the sample DDE Spreadsheet as it has most of the information you will need to know as part of that spreadsheet. Jay Froscheiser Vice President, Active Trader Products
