"IQ feed works very well, does not have all of the normal interruptions I have grown used to on *******" - Comment from Mark

"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

"Interactive Brokers tick data was inconsistent, so I have switched to using DTN exclusively. It is great to no longer have to worry about my datafeed all day long." - Comment from Philippe

"I noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable." - Comment from Ron in Utah

"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: Possible missing release note (2 messages, Page 1 of 1)

It appears that sometime during the upgrade from the 2.X series to the 4.X series, IQConnect began sending an !ENDMSG! message after error messages during historical data lookups. This is an incompatible change: In the old releases, you need to stop processing as soon as you receive an error; in the new releases, you have to continue processing until you handle the !ENDMSG!, otherwise it sits in the socket buffer and is misinterpreted as the reply to the next historical data request. This is extremely important if you make a bunch of history requests in a row and there's a non-negligible chance that a symbol has changed (!ERROR! Invalid symbol) or has no trades for the day (!ERROR! !NONE!) because it can throw off the results for all subsequent history requests. The new error message format is described correctly in the documentation, and is mentioned in the release notes. However, the release notes don't mention the additional !ENDMSG!. Allen
