"With HUGE volume on AAPL and RIMM for 2 days, everyone in a trading room was whining about freezes, crashes and lag with *******, RealTick, TS and Cyber. InvestorRT with IQFeed was rock solid. I mean SOLID!" - Comment from Public IRC Chat

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

"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 started a trial a few weeks back before the market went wild. DTN.IQ didn’t miss anything and beat my other provider. I decided to stay with you because of the great service through all the volatility." - Comment from Mike

"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

"This beats the pants off CQG, I am definitely switching to the ProphetX 3.0!" - Comment from Stephen

"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

"Thank you so much - awesome feed, awesome service!" - Comment from Greg via Email

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

"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

Author	Topic: COM Interface documentation broken? (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
AndrewAMD -Interested User- Posts: 2 Joined: Dec 3, 2020	Posted: Dec 3, 2020 12:56 PM Msg. 1 of 4 Hi, In the "Introduction to IQFeed" page, I'm trying to click on the individual COM Interface names to get their documentation, but all I get is a 404 error. Is the documentation broken, or is it just me? Andrew

Anyways, I already have the sockets up and running, no problem. Thanks.

We will not make any new code changes to the COM interfaces. They can still be used in the IQFeed API, but we only keep them active to support backwards compatibility. If you're working with an older app that used COM interfaces, they still work, and I can help with any questions about it. But no new development should be done with the COM interfaces.
