"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

"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

"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'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

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

DTN_SarahS -DTN Evangelist- Posts: 195 Joined: May 31, 2007	Posted: Feb 1, 2008 12:56 PM Msg. 2 of 5 Hello, I would first suggest downloading the current version of IQ Feed. http://www.iqfeed.net/index.cfm?displayaction=support§ion=download If this does not correct the download issue, you will want to run the IQ Feed Diagnostics application. To do so, click on Start, All Programs, IQ Feed 4.3.0.3, then Diagnostics. In the Test Equity field, use the symbol @YMH8, then click Test. Along the left hand side of the screen, you should see a series of checkmarks. DTN HistoryCOM should be checked. Please let me know the results of the diagnostics, a screenshot is helpful. It may be easier for you to contact us at support@iqfeed.net or by calling 1-800-763-9959. Kind regards, Sarah DTN Trading Markets

conr -Interested User- Posts: 48 Joined: Feb 13, 2007	Posted: Feb 7, 2008 09:44 AM Msg. 5 of 5 I deleted the expired symbols. But so you know, I very rarely clear out the expired symbols and it has never been a problem.
