"I had always used ******* but for the past 2 weeks have been trying DTN IQFeed. Customer support has been extraordinary. They call just to make sure your problem hasn't recurred." - Comment from Public Forum

"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

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

"I just wanted to let u know that your data feed/service is by far the best!!! Your unfiltered tick data is excellent for reading order flow and none of your competitors delivers this quality of data!" - Comment from Peter via Email

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

"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.

"There is no doubt that IQFeed is the best data provider. I am very satisfied with your services. And IQFeed is the only one that I would recommend to my friends. Now, most of them are using your product in China." - Comment from Zhezhe

You have implemented a Fire hose-and-Bucket model. If the line is not fast enough, or if the application that gets data from the Client is not fast enough, data is lost. Please consider implementing the well established Publish-and-Subscribe model. This will guarantee that data is not lost. I also believe that most of the problems that I see on the Developer Forums will also disappear with this redesign. Charles Brauer Charles Brauer CBrauer@CypressPoint.com

The firehose is fast and efficient, and if an application is unable to keep up, any ats running on the data will not be trading efficiently. And if you take a look at how the exchanges publish their data, that is one massive firehose. Basically, they multicast their data: one stream is published and everyone pulls out of it what they need. er... how does that differ from your suggestion?

A new Publish and Subscribe system would have to be developed in parallel with the existing one. A Publish and Subscribe system guarantees the delivery of the data. No data is lost. This solves the problem of a noisy, unreliable internet delivery system that has not implemented the concept of "Quality of Service". Take a look a www.Streambase.com and www.Tibco.com. This thread is afterall just a Wish List... Charles Charles Brauer CBrauer@CypressPoint.com
