"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 didn't notice a big difference but I'll try again.

I just tested on a 3.2GHZ dual core machine and it takes me about 10 seconds to download 1 minute signals for as far back as I can go. By way of comparison another vendors took about 6 seconds on the same machine. I think one of the big differences is that their seems to fill in most recent to older so the stuff you are looking at appears onscreen almost immediately then the older stuff fills in. Much more visually appealing.

I will test this further in the next few days. One problem I seem to have is when I put say 100 new symbols in a database and am trying to get the backfill data for even 20 days or so for all symbols quickly. In the past IQFEED seems to have bogged down for me w/ AmiBroker; even getting stuck on some symbols.

I will try that again w/ the new client.

Thanks

Thank you for the information.
Does the new client seem to have addressed your issue?

Unfortunately not. THe backfill speed for a number of symbols is annoying but I could live w/ it. Unfortunately the dependability does not work well for me w/ AmiBroker. I have had much better success w/ another data feed. Its more expensive and I'd rather give you the business but I originally brought these issues up many months ago and things still don't work as they should.
