"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

"I'm very glad I switched to IQFeed. It's working perfectly with no lag, even during fast market conditions." - Comment from Andy via Email

"I have been using IQFeed now for a few years in MultiCharts and I have zero complaints. Very, very rare to have any data hiccups or anything at all go wrong." - Comment from Public Forum

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

"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email

"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

"I would just like to say that IQFeed version 4 is running very well and I am very happy with its performance. I would also like to extend a big thanks for the fast and efficient help that I always receive. My questions and concerns are always addressed promptly. Way to go!" - Comment from Josh in CO.

"Just a thank you for the very helpful and prompt assistance and services. You provided me with noticeably superior service in my setup compared to a couple of other options I had looked at." - Comment from John

"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 am very happy I changed. I love the product, but more so I am thrilled with Tech Support. You are knowledgeable, polite, pleasant and professional." - Comment from Pat

Author	Topic: Quote Data Availability (6 messages, Page 1 of 1)
js2004 -Interested User- Posts: 30 Joined: Jul 19, 2004	Posted: Jul 23, 2004 03:13 PM Msg. 1 of 6 I tried to get quote data for 400 symbols tody. I am suprised to find out among the 400 symbols I tried, 271 are not available!! Only 129 returned quotes. The response the server returns are "Not Found" for those 271 symbols. Most of the symbols in the list are thin traded but quite a few are not such as BCON, BFUN, FLWC, ABMD, ACTL, BCGI, ACMR ... I tried to retrieve the quote from my broker's streamer and there are no problems at all to get all the quotes. I also checked Yahoo, no problem either. What is the problem?

FLWC is not - but it doesn't show up in another data feed I have either. Yahoo considers it "invalid". Looks like its your application, not IQFeed.

Posted: Jul 26, 2004 09:56 AM Msg. 4 of 6 js2004, The text "Not Found" in the last field signifies that you have entered an invalid symbol. You can find our symbology at www.iqfeed.net in the Support area. Your choices are the Symbol Guide, and Symbol Lookup. Thanks! Natalie Hannan DTN Market Access, LLC.

Please let us know if you are getting the not found this week. If you are, please check the IQconnection manager and report back on which IP and port you are connected. Thanks Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.
js2004 -Interested User- Posts: 30 Joined: Jul 19, 2004	Posted: Jul 26, 2004 01:20 PM Msg. 6 of 6 I run my program and tried the same 400 symbols again today. Here is the result: among 400 symbols, 251 returned with "Not Found", only 149 returned quote. Many last week's Not Found symbols returned quote today which include FLWS, ACTU, ABMD, ACEC, ACMR, BCON, BFUN, BCGI, ACTL. Some of today's Not Found are: ACTT, BBGI, ACCL, ALAN, ALOY. I din't think I gave wrong symbols. The followings are some of the Not Found. You can check whether I give the right symbols: Q,BELM,,Not Found,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Q,BERK,,Not Found,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Q,ALAN,,Not Found,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Q,ALOY,,Not Found,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 90% of the Not Found has LESS THAN 100,000 shares traded so far, some has no volumes at all today. But some do have traded more than 100,000. The followings are the first three messages I received. You may find the IP address from it.
