"Everything is working great ! Very impressive client. The news refreshes better and is more pertinent than the ******* feed I paid $ 100/month for. I Also like the charts a lot." - Comment from Leon

"If you want customer service that answers the phone, your best bet is IQFeed. I cannot stop praising them or their technical support. They are always there for you, and they are quick. I have used ****** too but the best value is IQFeed." - Comment from Public Forum

"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

"Awesome response, as usual. It is a sincere and refreshing pleasure to do business with DTN, compared to your competition." - Comment from Ryan

"My broker in Davenport suggested I give you a try as he uses your service and says its the best." - Comment from Bill via RT Chat

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

"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

"After all the anxiety I had with my previous data provider it is a relief not to have to worry about data speed and integrity." - Comment from Eamonn

"I've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from Public Forum

Why? What's wrong? Some of symbols are Ok, some of them (with another strikes) are invalid... Very strange behavior. For example: TX: HIT,BAC1422B29,60,20130711 071126,20140127 061126,,1,,1 RX: E,Invalid symbol. Full list of symbols which we can not get: BAC1422B34 BAC1422N25 BAC1422N24 BAC1422B33 BAC1422B32 BAC1422N27 BAC1422N26 BAC1422B31 BAC1422N29 BAC1422N28 BAC1422B36 BAC1422B35 BAC1422N30 BAC1422N31 BAC1422B30 BAC1422N32 BAC1422N33 BAC1422N34 BAC1422B3 BAC1422N36 BAC1422N35 BAC1422N1 BAC1422N2 BAC1422B4 BAC1422B25 BAC1422B24 BAC1422B27 BAC1422B26 BAC1422B23 BAC1422B22 BAC1422B29 BAC1422B28 BAC1422N22 BAC1422N23

I am not able to find where our system has this symbol anywhere. SBF,s,BAC1422B2 BAC1422B2,14,2,BAC FEB 2014 C 2.000, BAC1422B20,14,2,BAC FEB 2014 C 20.000, BAC1422B21,14,2,BAC FEB 2014 C 21.000, !ENDMSG!,

But these 4 symbols from the list - BAC1422B3, BAC1422B4, BAC1422N1, BAC1422N2 - exist and can be found on your site using Symbol Lookup, but still return the same error.
