"I just wanted to say how happy I am with your service. I was able to download the API docs last week and I was able to replicate Interactive Brokers historical bar queries and realtime bar queries over the weekend. That was about one of the fastest integrations that I've ever done and it works perfectly!!!!" - Comment from Jason via Email

"Thanks for all of your help. Great customer service deserves to be recognized which one the reasons I've been a customer of DTN for over 10 years!" - Comment from Stuart

"I am very pleased with the DTNIQ system for quotes and news." - Comment from Larry

"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

"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

"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

"I've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from Public Forum

"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

"Can I get another account from you? I am tired of ******* going down so often" - Comment from George

"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

Author	Topic: NASDAQ Level II (3 messages, Page 1 of 1)
malyn -Interested User- Posts: 2 Joined: Sep 27, 2004	Posted: Jan 4, 2005 04:14 PM Msg. 1 of 3 Hello, I recently began working with the NASDAQ Level II feed available on DTN RealTime and noticed a discrepancy between DTN's data and the data available via other providers. DTN appears to distribute Level II data on a per-market maker basis rather than a per-price level basis. If a market maker is active at multiple price levels, I will only see the closest price at which the market maker is bidding/offering the stock. This makes it very difficult/impossible to determine market depth using the DTN data. I found a similar thread elsewhere in the forums (http://forums.dtnma.com/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=76), but Natalie's response did not indicate whether it was possible to tell if a Level II quote update message was merely updating/removing a price level for a market marker, or was reporting an entirely new price level for that market maker. Is there some way to get this information? The ability to view the depth for a stock is what NASDAQ Level II is all about, but it is not immediately obvious how to determine market depth information with the DTN data feed. Thank you for your help, Michael Alyn Miller

It appears that DTN offers the NQDS data service instead of TotalView: NQDS - NQDS is used in conventional Level 2 displays. NQDS provides only the top-of-file market participant quotations from the NASDAQ Market Center. TotalView - TotalView is the new standard in NASDAQ Level 2 displays. TotalView vendors provide the full depth of quotation and order interest available for execution in the NASDAQ Market Center. If this is the case, are there any plans to upgrade the DTN feed to provide TotalView? Thanks again, Michael Alyn Miller

At this time, we don't have plans to provide the TotalView products from Nasdaq due to lack of demand which currently isn't enough to justify the increased costs it would incurr.
