"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

"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

"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email

"You have an excellent product !!!!!!" - Comment from Arely

"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 used to have *******, but they are way more money for the same thing. I have had no probs with data from DTN since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"Thanks for following up with me. You guys do a great job in tech support." - Comment from Phelps

"I'm satisfied with IQFeed. It's the most reliable and fastest quote feed I have ever used. Although I'm a resident in China, it's still very fast!" - Comment from Xiaofei

"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 noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable." - Comment from Ron in Utah

jimc -Interested User- Posts: 35 Joined: Jan 22, 2008	Posted: Mar 15, 2010 09:19 AM Msg. 1 of 4 My IQFeed is consumed by both MarketDelta and a program I've written. My program is happy this morning, but MarketDelta is complaining that my local time is off from the IQFeed server time by an hour. MarketDelta's charts are correspondingly off by an hour, no matter how I configure daylight savings time in the <my>holidays.txt file. Is anyone else seeing that IQFeed's server is off by an hour today? Jim

If you take a look at this link to the MD Support FAQ it explains what to do. http://portal.knowledgebase.net/display/2/index.asp?c=15572&cpc=JpRoH52EF7NTdA03B2IfYF5uwLEKur40r5a5pW2mn&cid=12729&cat=&catURL=&r=0.3091089 If you have any other problems or questions please let us know. Thanks. Curtis Thompson curtis.thompson@dtn.com Trading Markets Customer Service 1-800-397-7000 x3614

They've had me install an upcoming, unreleased version of MD and have tried various fixes, to no avail so far. Jim
jimc -Interested User- Posts: 35 Joined: Jan 22, 2008	Posted: Mar 16, 2010 08:26 AM Msg. 4 of 4 Just to follow up on this, it finally got resolved. MarketDelta was interpreting the timestamp fro IQFeed as being in standard time, because it has no timezone/dst suffix. MD had me install an unreleased, upcoming version that fixes this bug. Unfortunately, as has often been the case with MarketDelta, the new release has new bugs that break existing functionality, and the response I got from them was one I get far too often: "That functionality isn't important, so we're in no rush to fix the bug we just created." Arghhh!
