"Very impressed with the quality of your feed - ******* is a real donkey in comparison." - Comment from A.C. via Email

"I have to tell you though that using the IQFeed API is about the easiest and cleanest I have seen for some time." - Comment from Jim

"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

"IQ feed is brilliant. The support is mind-bending. What service!" - Comment from Public Forum Post

"I just wanted to say how happy I am with your service. I was able to download the API docs last week and I was able to replicate Interactive Brokers historical bar queries and realtime bar queries over the weekend. That was about one of the fastest integrations that I've ever done and it works perfectly!!!!" - Comment from Jason via Email

"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

"If someone needs the best quality data and backfill beyond what their broker provides at a rate that is the best in the industry, I highly recommend IQFeed." - Comment from Josh via Public Forum

"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

"I would just like to say that IQFeed version 4 is running very well and I am very happy with its performance. I would also like to extend a big thanks for the fast and efficient help that I always receive. My questions and concerns are always addressed promptly. Way to go!" - Comment from Josh in CO.

"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

Posted: Nov 30, 2006 04:27 PM Msg. 1 of 7 Hi, I am having some series problems with data coming in real time. It started few days ago and I am unable to tell why, I have enclosed a sample string below, and a quick inspection will show that this “RCII” stock was priced at 41.23 while a few ticks ago it was around 27.55 a change of 13.68 up. It goes for few ticks and than goes back to normal. It happens on most stocks. I am using Ver. 4.1 in a PC environment using the activeX interface with C# .net. I am reading live feed of some 490 stocks As I said, just started few days ago. Please help. Thanks in advance Shimon Dekel "Q,RCII,F,41.23,13.68,0.496551724,361898,2000,27.7700,27.1500, 27.4900,27.5000,400,1000,173,175,0.62,15:39t,,27.5100,27.5500, 0.01,,,,t,N,,,,11/30/2006,,41.23,,,,13.68,0,13.9 ,-0.492429173,0.,0.,13.72,,0.015037594,2888202.73, 14,2,,500410,CSE-CHX-PSE-NMS,,,,,2383,,,27.43,,N," Shimon Dekel

xen -Interested User- Posts: 15 Joined: Nov 12, 2006	Posted: Dec 1, 2006 09:58 AM Msg. 3 of 7 Just something to add, I was watching premarket data on XMSR this morning with my IQ Feed and Tradestation. The Tradestation feed was reported several ticks that IQ Feed did not....any idea why this might happen? The only thing I could think of is that somehow Tradestation was clearing a trade and not reporting it...but I doubt that's allowed.

Is it possible for you to email us your app so that we can try and duplicate this internally? (you can find the developer support email address in the documentation under support channels)

Posted: Dec 20, 2006 07:53 AM Msg. 6 of 7 Steve, It’s more than one symbol and it’s happening every day, I looked deeper into the problem and found (As seen in my previous post with the actual string) that the problem come from your service on my computer. Since it’s happening only to me and as I am only concern with my problem, I purchased a new computer and reinstalled everything I need and nothing else. I have been testing for two days now and it looks OK on the new PC Thank you all for your help I will let you know if it comes again. Best regards Shimon Dekel Shimon Dekel

Q,DELL,F,52.98,27.75,1.099881094,10215641,100,25.8700,25.1500,25.4500,25.4400,19500,2500,,173,0.72,12:07b,,25.1600,25.2300,-0.01,,,,t,N,,,,04/30/2007,,52.98,,,,27.75,0,42.0,-0.391455233,0.,0.,27.82,,0.013590034,120350109.72,14,4,,15155349,AMEX-BSE-CSE-PSE-NMS,,,,,24219,,,25.60,,E, sometimes, it is very strange that field 4 is messed up. for example, Q,AKAM,F,0.DELL,-0.08,-0.001785714,3785963,100,45.5600,44.4800,25.5000,25.5100,2600,15800,175,175,1.08,12:36t,,45.2490,44.8000,0.01,,,,t,N,,,,04/30/2007,,0.DELL,,,,-0.08,0,117.9,-0.171742945,-19.21,-19.21,-0.529,,0.024150268,7201485.2,14,4,,8674139,CSE-PSE-NMS,,,,,13060,,,45.1235,,N, the field 4 has a string "0.DELL", instead of a float. this happens to quite a few symbols. I am watching the 200 stocks. Does anyone else have the same problem?
