"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

"I've been using IQFeed 4 in a multi-threaded situation for the last week or two on 2600 symbols or so with 100 simultaneous daily charts, and I have had 100% responsiveness." - Comment from Scott

"I was with ******* for 4 years at $230 a month, this is a huge savings for me, GOD BLESS YOU PEOPLE," - Comment from T.S. via Email

"Everything is working amazing now. I'm already impressed with the true-tick feed of IQFeed and it's ability to support my 480 symbol layout." - Comment from Tyler via Email

"IQ feed is brilliant. The support is mind-bending. What service!" - Comment from Public Forum Post

"If someone needs the best quality data and backfill beyond what their broker provides at a rate that is the best in the industry, I highly recommend IQFeed." - Comment from Josh via Public Forum

"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

"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

"Version 4.0.0.2 has been working well for me and I appreciate that it is now a much tighter client to work with. I feel I can go to press with my own application and rely on a stable platform" - Comment from David in IA.

"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

Author	Topic: Detecting if IQConnect is running (5 messages, Page 1 of 1)
earik -Interested User- Posts: 13 Joined: May 10, 2004	Posted: May 10, 2004 12:04 PM Msg. 1 of 5 I'm trying to get my application and another application both running on the same computer using one IQConnect. The problem is that the 2nd app can never register since IQConnect seems to only allow one connection at a time. Does anyone know how I can detect if IQConnect.exe is already running so I know whether or not to call the register function? Thanks, Earik

Thanks, Earik --- Original message by earik on May 10, 2004 12:04 PM The easiest way is try to connect to the IQconnect socket. If its not there, then call the register function.

The one that called registerclientapp has control over all the others because it gets to turn iqconnect off. Any way to detect how many connections iqconnect has got going at a time? Earik
