"Everything is working great ! Very impressive client. The news refreshes better and is more pertinent than the ******* feed I paid $ 100/month for. I Also like the charts a lot." - Comment from Leon

"This beats the pants off CQG, I am definitely switching to the ProphetX 3.0!" - Comment from Stephen

"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

"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

"My broker in Davenport suggested I give you a try as he uses your service and says its the best." - Comment from Bill via RT Chat

"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

"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

"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

Author	Topic: [COM]: Daily and intraday history requests from separate threads (6 messages, Page 1 of 1)
dis -Interested User- Posts: 24 Joined: Apr 16, 2007	Posted: Jun 8, 2007 09:02 AM Msg. 1 of 6 Is it possible to do 2 historical requests (daily and intraday) from separate threads at the same time? Can the data be corrupted in such situation?

As a result, you would determine this the same way you do now with a single request.

I have attempted this and it appears to handle them sequentially (I use java and connect via sockets). Does that match the information that you have? I ask because even though it seems to be sequential handling of requests (I turned on DTN logs and that is what I see) we did have a situation in our logs that seems to indicate otherwise.

If you make simultaneous connections, they will get executed simultaneously. Depending upon exactly how you are making your requests, the logs may not be a very good indicator of what is acutally happening. This is a design flaw of the logging implementation in IQConnect. If you open 2 separate socket connections to IQConnect and make simultaneous requests, you will get data returned on both sockets simultaneously. If you open a single socket and make 2 separate requests at the same time, they will be executed sequentially.
