"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

"My broker in Davenport suggested I give you a try as he uses your service and says its the best." - Comment from Bill via RT Chat

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

"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

"I have to tell you though that using the IQFeed API is about the easiest and cleanest I have seen for some time." - Comment from Jim

"IQ feed works very well, does not have all of the normal interruptions I have grown used to on *******" - Comment from Mark

"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

"You are either overstaffed or people just don't have problems with your feed because customer support always answers the phone quickly." - Comment from Jay via Email

"I will tell others who want to go into trading that DTN ProphetX is an invaluable tool, I don't think anyone can trade without it..." - Comment from Luther

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

We have not made any protocol changes in awhile so these have gotten out of sync. We will look at this in the coming days. As to the conversion message, once the upgrade process to VS 2013 is performed, older clients would no longer be able to open the solution file. Since we need to keep the solution files available to all users, we will probably not be able to change this, but I will discuss it with management nonetheless to be sure they are aware of your concerns. Maybe we can come up with a few different installer versions, but we'll see how goes. Tim

Ask Apple CEO Tim Cook . . how quickly Apple customers upgrade . . and why Microsoft is being dragged down by support for legacy software . . . . Nadella is changing that. Thank you. mano San Jose, CA
