"DTN feed was the only feed that consistently matched Bloomberg feed for BID/ASK data verification work these past years......DTN feed is a must for my supply & demand based trading using Cumulative Delta" - Comment from Public Forum Post

"There is no doubt that IQFeed is the best data provider. I am very satisfied with your services. And IQFeed is the only one that I would recommend to my friends. Now, most of them are using your product in China." - Comment from Zhezhe

"IQ feed works very well, does not have all of the normal interruptions I have grown used to on *******" - Comment from Mark

"Excellent datafeed !!!" - Comment from Arely

"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

"After all the anxiety I had with my previous data provider it is a relief not to have to worry about data speed and integrity." - Comment from Eamonn

"I had always used ******* but for the past 2 weeks have been trying DTN IQFeed. Customer support has been extraordinary. They call just to make sure your problem hasn't recurred." - Comment from Public Forum

"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

"I cannot believe what a difference it makes trading with ProphetX!" - Comment from Bruce in Los Angeles

"Its working FABULOUSLY for me!! Holy cow...there has been so much I've been missing lately, and with this feed and Linnsoft software...I'm in the game now." - Comment from Chris R.

nexus -Interested User- Posts: 2 Joined: Dec 3, 2005 Just Do It	Posted: Dec 3, 2005 12:27 PM Msg. 1 of 3 Hi there, Since I upgraded to V4 I am experiencing periodic IQConnect crashes. I am pretty clueless about what could be causing it due the lack of debug information. Here is the test cycle I was executing: 1. Application startup 2. Connect IQFeed 3. Request historic information for 175 symbols 4. Receive and process historic information for each symbol 5. Subscribe for streaming the same 175 symbols 6. Let it run 24 hours x 5 days Unfortunately, the IQConnect crash is guaranteed to happen on the first three hours after all historic data is received. Because the crash is a 'hard' windows crash that invokes the 'this program executed an illegal operation' dialog, my application cannot recover from it until someone press the 'close application' button in the dialog. Any ideas about what is going on? Is there anyway I can get IQConnect to spit debug information? Thanks a lot!

There are a couple things to check. First, make sure you read all of the release notes from 2.3 through 4.0 to ensure you took into account any changes. There is a documented memory problem in 4.0 using sockets to request numerous history requests. We hope to have a new build available shortly that fixes it. Take a look at the 4.0 documenation regarding the registry settings to change to turn on logging in IQFeed. That may help provide some insight as to where it is crashing. Also, is the crash in IQFeed/IQConnect or in your software? If this is on your own software, send it to developer support via email and we can check to see where it may be crashing.

Yes, that is correct. > There is a documented memory problem in 4.0 using sockets to request numerous history requests. That could be related - I am using using sockets to communicate with IQFeed. > Take a look at the 4.0 documenation regarding the registry settings to change to turn on logging in IQFeed. Ok, I will give it a try and get back to you if something comes up :) > Also, is the crash in IQFeed/IQConnect or in your software? The crash is definitely in IQConnect. After running for a few hours, Windows say 'IQConnect.exe performed a illegal operation and must be closed'. Once I click 'close' to terminate IQConnect, my application recovers normally from disconnection, IQConnect is reinstantiated and everything is fine again. Thanks a lot! :)
