"The service is great, I see a noticeable improvement in my volume profiles over [broker]'s data feed" - Comment from Larry

"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

"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom

"For anyone considering using DTN.IQ for a data feed, my experience with the quality of data and the tech support has been very positive." - Comment from Public Forum

"The people at Nirvana have very nice things to say about your company and I can see why! Price and service is a potent combination." - Comment from Ed

"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

"If you want customer service that answers the phone, your best bet is IQFeed. I cannot stop praising them or their technical support. They are always there for you, and they are quick. I have used ****** too but the best value is IQFeed." - Comment from Public Forum

"I've never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.

"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

"Everything is working amazing now. I'm already impressed with the true-tick feed of IQFeed and it's ability to support my 480 symbol layout." - Comment from Tyler via Email

Author	Topic: Windows Searchindex and IQFeed (3 messages, Page 1 of 1)
FGBL07 -Interested User- Posts: 41 Joined: Sep 8, 2011	Posted: Sep 23, 2012 08:15 AM Msg. 1 of 3 I have a problem on my PC with the Windows Searchindex and the IQFeed client. I had noticed that whenever I run my chart program (Sierracharts) the Windows Searchindex process starts to use an indecent amount of CPU time. In fact it uses more CPU time than Sierracharts. Just starting the IQFeed diagnostic tool will have this effect, so Sierracharts itself is not involved. I'm at a loss what setting for the Searchindex I have got to change to stop this. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and IQFeed 4.8.1.7. Any ideas? Many Thanks.

You mention that just starting the diagnostics will cause this. Are you saying it increases the CPU without even running a test symbol in the diagnostics app? Can you tell if this happens only when the markets are open (I am looking at it on Sunday afternoon so that may be why I don't see any issues). One thing to check is that you don't have IQFeed logging turned on. You can turn this off in the diagnostics app by going to the logging tab. If for some reason Sierra Charts has logging turned on, this would cause the SearchIndex to continually index the file as it builds. I was able to see the search index using 2-3% CPU when I turned IQFeed logging on. Unless you are having problems, it is best to keep logging turned off as it will impact performance not only within IQFeed, but ancillary software such as the search indexer or virus scanners.

"..Are you saying it increases the CPU without even running a test symbol in the diagnostics app? " No, sorry, I was misleading on this. I had entered a test symbol (XG#) and started the test. I have set the log level now to "0 - no logging" and a first test shows that the Searchindexer no longer stresses the CPUs. Final test will be tomorrow during market hours. Many Thanks and have a nice Sunday.
