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

rc554 -Interested User- Posts: 5 Joined: Oct 19, 2010	Posted: Oct 28, 2010 10:22 AM Msg. 1 of 5 I started the IQ Feed (using my custom program with API) to collect the streaming data and when I tried to connect to the IQ feed (with the same login-in ID) from other computer to do some analysis using other charting tools (Like amibroker), the first one is disconnected. So, is there any way to run the IQ Feed separately on two computers using the same login ID? If not, I am considering to set-up dedicated server where IQ Feed runs and my custom programs connect to that computer (using sockets), Is this possible? (Here I guess, I need to specify in my API program to the that IQ Feed dedicated server IP to connect on certain port). please advise. Thank you

IQConnect will only accept a connection from the local machine (127.0.0.1). In order to connect to IQFeed from 2 different machines, you will need 2 IQFeed accounts.

How can I setup IQFEED so that the various Virtual Machines can use the IQFEED? Each Virtual machine will have either a charting or analysing software package. SO the data is not distributed over multiple PC's and I am the only user of the PC. Please advice. Thanks, Westvleteren

I don't believe there would be any way for us to allow a single instance of IQFeed to service multiple virtual machines without violating exchange agreements against redistribution of data since there is no way to guarantee that the data is going to the same machine.
