"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'm very glad I switched to IQFeed. It's working perfectly with no lag, even during fast market conditions." - Comment from Andy via Email

"With HUGE volume on AAPL and RIMM for 2 days, everyone in a trading room was whining about freezes, crashes and lag with *******, RealTick, TS and Cyber. InvestorRT with IQFeed was rock solid. I mean SOLID!" - Comment from Public IRC Chat

Author	Topic: Eliminate Windows event based startup requirements (5 messages, Page 1 of 1)
stargrazer -DTN Guru- Posts: 302 Joined: Jun 13, 2005 Right Here & Now	Posted: Aug 11, 2005 05:52 AM Msg. 1 of 5 There are some times when I prefer to use console based applications for my data-analysis. Having to create a Kluge to accept a windows event when starting iqfeed seems a bit too much. Can that requirement be dropped? Perhaps a .net framework event or even better, simply allow a socket connection immediately, and pass status to the socket connection of what is happening, ie, additional S type messages.

If the whole thing could be totally driven through sockets, that would be cool.

This is something that I have been thinking about for future development. I assume that most developers would find this to be handy. Natalie Natalie Hannan DTN Market Access, LLC.
