"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 just wanted to say how happy I am with your service. I was able to download the API docs last week and I was able to replicate Interactive Brokers historical bar queries and realtime bar queries over the weekend. That was about one of the fastest integrations that I've ever done and it works perfectly!!!!" - Comment from Jason via Email

"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

"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

"DTN feed was the only feed that consistently matched Bloomberg feed for BID/ASK data verification work these past years......DTN feed is a must for my supply & demand based trading using Cumulative Delta" - Comment from Public Forum Post

"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

"It’s so nice to be working with real professionals!" - Comment from Len

This is true for initial connect. I just forced a connection loss but using the tool tcpview.exe and terminating the remote socket connections. Unfortunately: - I did no get any mouse move event to indicate the loss of connection - nor did the connection manager try to recover the connection Is there any way to: a) track connection status b) to manually recover the connection except shutting down the connection manager (which will not work due to a pending bug) and restarting it Regards Dierk Droth www.trademagic.net TradeMagic - Trading at its best

Dierk Droth -Interested User- Posts: 67 Joined: Aug 11, 2004	Posted: Sep 6, 2004 09:25 AM Msg. 4 of 7 I just tried around and found that "S,SERVER DISCONNECTED" is sent after the connection was recovered (and was followed immediately by "S,SERVER CONNECTED"). As I see it now, I get an indication that the connection is recovered, but not as it is lost. Any thoughts on that ? Dierk Droth www.trademagic.net TradeMagic - Trading at its best

Hope my customers are patient too if it takes them 75 seconds to find out that they are no longer connected . Any way to configure these 75 seconds ?

In future releases, I don't know if it will be configurable or not (we will have to think about that), however, we are working to make the connection state easier to maintain (so it will attempt a reconnect immediately after being disconnected instead of waiting for a timeout).
