"If someone needs the best quality data and backfill beyond what their broker provides at a rate that is the best in the industry, I highly recommend IQFeed." - Comment from Josh via Public Forum

"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

"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

"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

"Everything is working great with the API. I love it." - Comment from Calvin

"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom

"I've been using IQFeed 4 in a multi-threaded situation for the last week or two on 2600 symbols or so with 100 simultaneous daily charts, and I have had 100% responsiveness." - Comment from Scott

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

"I use IQ Feed, Great stuff as far as data analysis information, storage and retrieval is concerned." - Comment from Public Forum

Please log out and back in and see if it takes care of it. I am using the DTN.IQ client with the beta IQFeed and was able to get T&S on both of those symbols. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets
nsolot -DTN Guru- Posts: 273 Joined: Sep 4, 2004	Posted: Jun 8, 2005 09:49 AM Msg. 5 of 12 When I try @ESM5 and MSFT I don't get the history, but I do get the current ticks as they occur, so the error message doesn't appear. Try a very thinly traded issue like MBJ (only 2800 shares traded today).

A reconnect to IQFeed should take care of it. I checked with our OPS group and they aren't seeing any problems with history servers, however, if you can't connect to it, that is what you will see (no backfill but streaming updates coming in). I am getting both no matter what symbol I enter. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets
nsolot -DTN Guru- Posts: 273 Joined: Sep 4, 2004	Posted: Jun 8, 2005 09:55 AM Msg. 7 of 12 now connected to 66.112.148.224 and same problem. I don't have the beta client installed on this system (only on my development and custom app platform). This is plain vanilla DTNIQ software install. Should I try the beta client on this box?

I would suggest installing the IQFeed beta (you must install it in the same directory as DTN.IQ if you have DTN.IQ installed). If it still doesn't work (if its a firewall issue it may not unless the firewall prompts to allow the new IQFeed), run the IQFeed Diagnostics app that came with the new IQFeed and see what it shows for historical data.

nsolot -DTN Guru- Posts: 273 Joined: Sep 4, 2004	Posted: Jun 8, 2005 10:22 AM Msg. 9 of 12 I got it working by copying IQconnect.exe and IQ32.dll from the beta client (IQFEED folder) to the DTN.IQ folder. I couldn't figure out how to make the client installer install the files directly in the DTN.IQ folder. Before that, I tried disabling "personal firewall" and then "security" on Norton Internet Security 2004. Neither of those worked so I doubt it's a firewall issue (unless my ISP did something overnight)
nsolot -DTN Guru- Posts: 273 Joined: Sep 4, 2004	Posted: Jun 8, 2005 03:29 PM Msg. 10 of 12 After making that change, I now notice that Snap Quote sometimes doesn't show Last & Change (for example INTC & MSFT), but does for other tickers (INDU.X & QQQQ). Maybe it because it's after 4PM EST.
nsolot -DTN Guru- Posts: 273 Joined: Sep 4, 2004	Posted: Jun 9, 2005 11:12 AM Msg. 11 of 12 Another odd thing I notice after the change. Both Watch List and Level 2 fail to update high or low as stocks break out. For example, my Watchlist and Level 2 show the high for the day on QQQQ at 37.72, but the last is 37.88.
