"Interactive Brokers tick data was inconsistent, so I have switched to using DTN exclusively. It is great to no longer have to worry about my datafeed all day long." - Comment from Philippe

"Previously I was using *******. IQFeed is WAY more economical, and for my charting needs is just as good, if not better." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"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 "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

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

"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

"Version 4.0.0.2 has been working well for me and I appreciate that it is now a much tighter client to work with. I feel I can go to press with my own application and rely on a stable platform" - Comment from David in IA.

"For anyone considering using DTN.IQ for a data feed, my experience with the quality of data and the tech support has been very positive." - Comment from Public Forum

"I am keeping IQFeed, much better reliabilty than *******. I may refer a few other people in the office to switch as well." - Comment from Don

"I am a hedge fund manager here. It’s funny, I have a Bloomberg terminal and a Bridge feed, but I still like having my DTN feed!" - Comment from Feras

Author	Topic: Minute data (6 messages, Page 1 of 1)
TickTack -Interested User- Posts: 2 Joined: May 7, 2004	Posted: May 7, 2004 06:20 PM Msg. 1 of 6 I need 1 or 1.5 or 2 minute data for about 3000 stock symbols. Currently I'm using YahooRT and it takes less than 20 seconds (via HTTP), but the data is not that much clean. I would like to switch to a better data feed. The main criteria is a fast download of the data for that number of stocks. Though the data can be "snapshot", it must not be older than 20 to 30 seconds. I need this kind of "vertical" data for a neartime ranking purpose. Is this possible with IQfeed? Ie. snapshot data every x minutes for about 3000 symbols.

It is built for speed in delivery to tick data. The best way to handle what you are looking for is to use a satellite datafeed which we sell for $129/mo then build your own app to take the streaming feed and build your ranking lists. The advantage of a satellite feed is that there are no symbol limits and thus 3000 symbols can be tracked easily. There are a few people who have developed to our satellite feed and made a 3rd party API available which is pretty easy to develop to. The first to come to mind is base16.com.

Here in Germany we have DSL speeds of 1000, 2000, and 3000 kbit/s. Would it somehow be possible to use multiple such connections to DTN (probably multiple subscriptions) whereby each connection/subscription handling just a smaller subset of the 3000 symbols? How about using a fast direct internet link? Would this bring any advantage over DSL?

At this time we don't have any subscription levels that would support that many symbols being watch simultaneously. There are numurous reasons for this, one being bandwidth, two being the computer processing that would be needed to handle that many symbols streaming. The protocol on IQFeed is meant to stream between 500-1000 symbols efficiently. We are developing new server and client architecture which should be much more efficient. Depending how tests come out after development, we may be able to increase symbol limits and create new subscription levels that will serve your needs. Jay Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.

Buy 2 or more DTN subscription ($89/month+exchange fees for 1300 symbols), install each one on a different computer (if I get it right, IPs should be also different) Each computer will receive 1300 symbols and forward to your main application which will merge all the streams together.

If it does, it is considered redistribution and thus is liable for redistirubtion fees by the exchanges (which starts at $1000/mo). Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.
