"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

Author	Topic: Is it worth the effort to upgrade to 2.3? (2 messages, Page 1 of 1)
wmillows -DTN Evangelist- Posts: 116 Joined: Jul 14, 2004	Posted: Sep 7, 2004 12:43 PM Msg. 1 of 2 Hi, I am currently using IQFeed 2.2.7.2 with .NET C# through TCP/IP sockets. I am thinking to upgrade to 2.3? I am not sure if it is worth the effort. Is this version stable than 2.2? In my one year with IQFeed, I have overcome numerous problems, bad real time field data, crashes, no history data avaiable around 9pm PST, sometimes there are history data for one symbol but not the other, minutes later, retry is able to get both data for both symbols. If I upgrading to 2.3, do I need to go through this again? What prompts me to think about upgrading is since last friday, the s&p emini quote became delayed even though I subscribed to real time. The support rep tweaked my account info to get real time quote again. I am not sure why it requires changes since before last Friday, I am receiving real time quote. PS: is there a 2.3 release note somewhere? I tried to find out what API changes from 2.2.
