"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

"I've never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.

"I just wanted to let you know how fast and easy I found it to integrate IQFeed into our existing Java code using your JNI client. In my experience, such things almost never go so smoothly - great job!" - Comment from Nate

"I have been using IQFeed now for a few years in MultiCharts and I have zero complaints. Very, very rare to have any data hiccups or anything at all go wrong." - Comment from Public Forum

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

"Everything is working great ! Very impressive client. The news refreshes better and is more pertinent than the ******* feed I paid $ 100/month for. I Also like the charts a lot." - Comment from Leon

"I have to tell you though that using the IQFeed API is about the easiest and cleanest I have seen for some time." - 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

"Very impressed with the quality of your feed - ******* is a real donkey in comparison." - Comment from A.C. via Email

"Just a thank you for the very helpful and prompt assistance and services. You provided me with noticeably superior service in my setup compared to a couple of other options I had looked at." - Comment from John

The version of IQFeed currently in development will have this available. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.

Posted: Mar 11, 2005 02:21 PM Msg. 3 of 3 Actually, IQFeed v2.3.0.2 does support Future chains via COM, but not via sockets. You can use the IOptionChainLookup2 interface which has the following functions: GetFutureOrSpreadSymbols(BSTR bsClient, BSTR bsClientVersion, BSTR bsSymbol, BSTR bsSecurityType, BSTR bsMonthCodes, int iNearMonths, BOOL bLeaps, BSTR bsYears, BSTR pbsSymbols); GetFutureOrSpreadSymbolsByFilter(BSTR bsClient, BSTR bsClientVersion, BSTR bsSymbol, BSTR bsSecurityType, BSTR bsMonthCodes, int iNearMonths, BOOL bLeaps, BSTR bsYears, int iFilterType, double dFilter1, double dFilter2, BSTR pbsBaseSymbols); GetOptionOrFutOptionSymbols(BSTR bsClient, BSTR bsClientVersion, BSTR bsSymbol, BSTR bsSecurityType, BSTR bsMonthCodes, int iNearMonths, BOOL bLeaps, BSTR bsYears, BSTR bsRequestPutsCalls, BSTR pbsBaseSymbols); GetOptionOrFutOptionSymbolsByFilter(BSTR bsClient, BSTR bsClientVersion, BSTR bsSymbol, BSTR bsSecurityType, BSTR bsMonthCodes, int iNearMonths, BOOL bLeaps, BSTR bsYears, int iFilterType, double dFilter1, double dFilter2, BSTR bsRequestPutsCalls, BSTR pbsBaseSymbols); In IQFeed v2.3.0.3, this functionality will also be available via sockets.
