"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

"For anyone considering using DTN.IQ for a data feed, my experience with the quality of data and the tech support has been very positive." - Comment from Public Forum

"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

"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

"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

DTN_Steve_G -DTN IQFeed- Posts: 28 Joined: Oct 1, 2004	Posted: Oct 27, 2004 03:34 PM Msg. 3 of 6 andrzejs, I checked with our staff on this. Ready? When an ask only occurs, an "a" trade time type will be used. When a bid only occurs, or when both a bid and an ask occurs, a "b" trade time type will be used. You will not see any "a" trade time type for equities, since all equity quotes have both a bid and an ask on them. Only commodities will have "a" trade time types, when only an ask occurs. The two symbols (SUNW and SSRI), which you were watching, are equities. SOOO, you will see everything reported on a "b" trade time type. I hope that is a little bit clearer than mud (joke!).
