"I just wanted to let you know how fast and easy I found it to integrate IQFeed into our existing Java code using your JNI client. In my experience, such things almost never go so smoothly - great job!" - Comment from Nate

"Previously I was using *******. IQFeed is WAY more economical, and for my charting needs is just as good, if not better." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"I was on the phone with a friend who uses CQG and right after the Fed announcement, CQG was as much as 30 seconds behind DTN.IQ. Some quotes were off by as much as 15-18 cents. Your feed never missed a beat." - Comment from Roger

"Thank God for your Data Feed as the only Zippers I see are on my pants (LOL), and no more 200 pip spikes to mess up charts." - Comment from Spiro via Email

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

"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

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

"You have an excellent feed. Very few spikes for Spot Forex." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"You are much better than lawyers or the phone company because you answer the phone when I call! I just love your customer service." - Comment from Isreal

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

Author	Topic: FTSE 100 future (LF#) tick data spikes (6 messages, Page 1 of 1)
gboos -Interested User- Posts: 9 Joined: Nov 16, 2009	Posted: Jan 21, 2011 02:07 AM Msg. 1 of 6 Good morning, since the last roll-over in mid December I'm experiencing huge tick spikes in the Ftse 100 future (symbol LF#). Is that problem already known ? I didn't find anything with the search function. So please are you aware of this issue ? I'm using Multicharts with the implemented QuoteManager as a 3rd party charting software and attached a screenshot to see the spikes on different days. Thanks a lot. Kind regards.

I see a few small spikes in the intraday data, but nothing unusual, can you please provide a couple time stamps so we can confirm we are looking at the right areas. Also are you using an intraday chart or daily chart. Any details you can provide will assist us in finding the problems. Stan S What we do today, determines how people remember us forever.

One example happened today at 12:51:04 exchange time. I'm talking tick charts. Minute charts are effected as well. Regards. Mike File Attached: ftse_future(LF#)_spikes2.png (downloaded 966 times)

Stan S -DTN Guru- Posts: 256 Joined: Apr 13, 2006	Posted: Jan 21, 2011 07:59 AM Msg. 5 of 6 These spikes are implied trades. Implied trades were blocked in the past , but a few weeks this was changed to allow the implied trades to pass thru. The exchange always sent these, this was a DTN decision to allow these to pass thru in response to other customers wanting to see these implied quotes. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Stan S What we do today, determines how people remember us forever. Be the positive force in someone life.
