I have changed it to "HID"+(char)5+symbol+(char)5+days+(char)5+interval+(char)6 or "HDX"+(char)5+symbol+(char)5+days+(char)6 but it is still not working - hangs up at socket reading. If there is a change in protocol delimiters or something else? At the same time, DDE link and all IQLink diagnostics work just fine. Edited by akolonin on Feb 25, 2009 at 11:43 AM

The commands you posted are for retrieving historical data and should be sent to the Lookup Port. If you want those commands to work, take a look at the top of the "Historical via TCP/IP" documentation for setting up to retrieve historical data. If you are looking for streaming data (as your post title indicates), take a look at the documentation for "Initialzing for TCP/IP" and "Level 1 via TCP/IP". Let me know if you have additional questions.
