"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

"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

Question about "500 symbol" limit:

If I wanted to get, for example, the 5-day average volume for 1000 symbols, could I still do this by just using two separate queries back-to-back?

Thanks.

The symbol limit applies to the number of concurrent symbols you can watch (streaming data). You can get as much historical data for as many symbols as you want.

BTW, the limit is 1300 symbols if you sign up with DTN rather than IQFeed.

cheers.

Trent,

Also note that you will need to throttle the requests if you plan to pull 1000 symbols historical data. The limits are in place to give everyone a fair share of bandwidth and server resources. If you are pulling 1000 symbols historical data, I would ask that you do so afterhours and all will be well.

Thanks
