"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
"You have an excellent feed. Very few spikes for Spot Forex." - Comment from Public Forum Post
"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
"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

Are the trade conditions on some web page or text file? I'm not setup currently to be able to get commands over the STC?
Thank you so much for the detaled explanation. I understand it much better now. Couple of followup questions:
1. Can a trade and quote update be combined? So will I see Cab or some combination of that? 2. Can you give me examples of what C trades types are and what E or O are? In particular, I'm looking for trades which are current and happen on the current book. Don't want to process trades that are not done in the market at the current time.
Maybe I was not not clear. Let's assume the market has no trade in a 5 minute interval and the bid/ask move 5 times in that interval.
Will I see 5 update messages? What will be in the most recent trade column? How will I know that that these 5 updates were for only book updates and no trades happened in these 5 update messages?
Also, thanks for the clarification on the tickid and where the tickid might be the same for all trades grouped together by CME.
1. If the same update messages groups quote updates and tick updates. How will I know if the update message is for a top of book level 1 update or a tick trade. I can't use tickid since tickid can be the same for new trades as well)
I need a way to know that this is only a quote update/or a trade update or both.
Sorry, I'm still confused. If I wanted to only top of the book quotes and updates. Is that included in the standard package? Or are the top of book quotes an added package? I see that on each tick I get the best bid ask offer? ( i only trade futures so it's only one exchange).
Will the tick updates also get updated when the best bid/ask changes and there is no trade?
Thank you for your reply. Comments/questions below:
1. Ok, so 5009 only does trades (is that what you call a tick?) 2. Do I have to subscribe to market depth or is that included? 3. How do I know what comes from the exchange and what from dtn and most importantly what is calculated from iqconnect on my computer. 4. I don't understand "TickIDs don't necessarily increment" if they get incremented for each tick? for a non forex symbol it should increment with each message?
Couple of questions on:
http://www.iqfeed.net/dev/api/docs//Level1UpdateSummaryMessage.cfm
1. How do I distinguish trade data from level 1 book updates? 2. is the book always provided on a trade update? 3. Is the VWAP for CME calculated in iqconnect.exe or calculated by your server or exchange? 4. What is TickID? Is that a sequence which gets incremented for each quote update? Or is it increment for each trade? 5. If two trades happen at the same price and same time, do you sum them and send them in one message? 6. What about numtrades?
If iqconnects shuts crashes and is not connected for some time, when it reconects will the fields it calculates be correct (in other words) does it fill gaps?
