"I was on the phone with a friend who uses CQG and right after the Fed announcement, CQG was as much as 30 seconds behind DTN.IQ. Some quotes were off by as much as 15-18 cents. Your feed never missed a beat." - Comment from Roger

"I like you guys better than *******...much more stable and a whole lot fewer issues." - Comment from Philip

"Thank God for your Data Feed as the only Zippers I see are on my pants (LOL), and no more 200 pip spikes to mess up charts." - Comment from Spiro via Email

"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 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

"You have an excellent product !!!!!!" - Comment from Arely

"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 am enjoying the feed very much - so superior to the broker provided feed I was previously using." - Comment from George

"I used to have *******, but they are way more money for the same thing. I have had no probs with data from DTN since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"Everything is working great ! Very impressive client. The news refreshes better and is more pertinent than the ******* feed I paid $ 100/month for. I Also like the charts a lot." - Comment from Leon

If you would like access to the Green Exchange data, this is available on our Prophet X platform. Sorry for the confusion, Sarah
Lewcifer -Interested User- Posts: 33 Joined: Jul 8, 2006 Lew Payne	Posted: Apr 9, 2008 02:47 PM Msg. 4 of 5 Sarah - Thank you for researching this issue. I'd like to make a suggestion, to avoid future problems like this one... When making Futures Symbol/Root Changes announcements in the locked and pinned forum thread by the same name, please cite the applicable platform as well. This will eliminate one source of customer confusion and wasted/duplicated research time. Thank you again for your answer. Regards, Lew Payne Direct contact: pkventures at gmail dot com Don't be shy... I enjoy sharing/learning from and with other traders.
