"You are either overstaffed or people just don't have problems with your feed because customer support always answers the phone quickly." - Comment from Jay via Email

"Version 4.0.0.2 has been working well for me and I appreciate that it is now a much tighter client to work with. I feel I can go to press with my own application and rely on a stable platform" - Comment from David in IA.

"The people at Nirvana have very nice things to say about your company and I can see why! Price and service is a potent combination." - Comment from Ed

"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 will tell others who want to go into trading that DTN ProphetX is an invaluable tool, I don't think anyone can trade without it..." - Comment from Luther

"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

Up to 2 minutes delay on 66.112.156.221:60002 and 3 minutes delay occured on 66.112.156.224:60002. Edited by kdresser on Aug 31, 2005 at 10:10 AM
DTN_Jay_Froscheiser -VP, Product Operations- Posts: 1746 Joined: May 3, 2004 DTN IQFeed/DTN.IQ/DTN NxCore	Posted: Aug 31, 2005 10:13 AM Msg. 4 of 10 We are checking into this. I am connected to 2 servers, .222 and .227 and both are right on with the market, but we are seeing some servers queuing data. Our OPS group is looking into what is causing this on the other servers. Yesterday we were able to identify a user who was taking an excessive number of connections, so we terminated the user and took the server he was connected to offline.

Same time window there too. If you want logs or even an email alert when these happen, I'll oblige. Thanks for the response. Edited by kdresser on Aug 31, 2005 at 10:22 AM

We have an engineer finishing up some maintenence and will have them online shortly, to balance the load further. In the mean time our developers are looking into how certain users are able to create so many connections to the server. Not sure if this is an IQFeed but, or someone circumventing our protocols. In either case, the user was terminated until we can figure out the cause. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets

I've got messages at 10:13 EST where the futures have a 10:13 time stamp, but the stocks have a 10:10 time stamp. Seems to me the issue is probably futher upstream than the specific server I'm connected to...

Instead, I had all of our staff running around researching the problem and working to correct whatever issues there were as quickly as possible. I will get someone dedicated to updating this page so you and our other customers are better informed when there is a problem we are aware of. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets

One suggestion might be to add a single character to the Time message: N-Normal T-Trouble This way our apps could take appropriate action.
