"I like you guys better than *******...much more stable and a whole lot fewer issues." - Comment from Philip
"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
"The service is great, I see a noticeable improvement in my volume profiles over [broker]'s data feed" - Comment from Larry
"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
"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 had always used ******* but for the past 2 weeks have been trying DTN IQFeed. Customer support has been extraordinary. They call just to make sure your problem hasn't recurred." - Comment from Public Forum
"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

Data and Content Support » E-CBOT Halted Mar 7, 2005 01:17 PM (Total replies: 5)

The Associated Press - Monday, March 07, 2005
CHICAGO

The Chicago Board of Trade had an on-again, off-again Monday.

The exchange's electronic trading system shut down at 9:20 a.m. Monday for nearly two hours because of sporadic outages. Then, after being online for 20 minutes, it shut down again at 11:30 a.m., said CBOT spokeswoman Melissa Jarmel.

Board of Trade officials said only electronic financial contracts were affected.

"It was determined that a temporary trading halt was deemed appropriate in order to maintain consistent and fair access for all market participants," a CBOT statement said.

Open outcry trading - where traders shout out their buy or sell offers on the floor - continued as usual, Jarmel said.

The Chicago-based exchange trades futures and options on agricultural and financial products. About 65 percent of CBOT's total trading volume is done electronically, but most of those contracts are also traded on the floor and weren't affected by the system's electronic problems, Jarmel said.

Officials do not know what caused the outages.

The electronic glitches caused Canada's Winnipeg Commodity Exchange to stop trading, said Winnipeg spokesman Mike Gagne. Winnipeg, an agricultural futures and options exchange, switched to electronic trading in 2004 and trades about two million contracts a year.

The CBOT also hosts trade for some contracts on the Kansas City Board of Trade and the Minneapolis Grain Exchange. Only one KCBOT contract was affected by the shutdown. Messages left with the Minneapolis exchange were not immediately returned.

I did... but not for long.

No question about it. Jay & Co are off the hook on this one. Sure hope they get this fixed up before the Bears win their next Superbowl.

re: IB 50 message per sec limit - You found some of the info. I think there's more on the Yahoo TWSapi forum. I don't recall exactly where I found it, but I think as you examine the IB data feed closely you'll reach the conclusion that it's a scaled down feed. IQ provides you tick by tick data, while IB has no intention of providing this type of detail. On the flip side, Friday there was some issue preventing IQ (and others) from getting data from CINN (Island/Inet) for over an hour, but IB was showing updated quotes during the period. Since IB is a broker and directs a LOT of orders to this mkt (evidenced by routing report), I suspect they have a different level of service than IQ.

re: Debug level - Look at the IQ API for "IQConnect logging Log Settings for IQConnect ". It's a registry setting. With log level set to 2, I've seen some "corrupted" data, like a last print on Q's of 3742, and it's obvious the decimal is missing. I still need to put some code in my app to check for this, as well as prints that are obvious exchange reporting errors.

re: ECNs - check the IQ API for "Market Center Codes A list of Regional Market Center codes. "

I may be mistaken. If so, someone please let me know.

c = CINN = Island/Inet
p = ARCX = Archipelago
t = NASDAQ which incorporates some of the lesser players like BRUT & BTRADE

If you open a level 2 window with DTNIQ along side the archipelago book viewer you can see them match up.

I'm at office now but will post longer reply later from home.

One question for you. Are you using the API from IB and/or IQ? or just the TWS from IB and DTNIQ software from IQ?
