"I ran your IQFeed DDE vs. my broker vs. a level II window for some slow-moving options. I would see the level II quote change, then your feed update instantaneously. My broker's DDE, however, would take as much as 30 seconds to update. I am not chasing milliseconds, but half a minute is unacceptable." - Comment from Rob

"Interactive Brokers tick data was inconsistent, so I have switched to using DTN exclusively. It is great to no longer have to worry about my datafeed all day long." - Comment from Philippe

jar -Interested User- Posts: 39 Joined: Aug 21, 2008	Posted: Apr 18, 2009 08:47 AM Msg. 1 of 6 A couple questions, you have a zip file containing a list of all symbols and I assume all indices. Is there any way to separate the markets and supply them in zip form? My excel will not completely open the file due to its size. I would like to sort it by exchange. Also I see you have fundamental data. Is it possible to include past fundamental data? The zip file I was speaking about is here. http://www.dtniq.com/template.cfm?navgroup=supportlist&urlcode=325&view=1 Thx, jar

We are going to be making changes to our symbol lookup files in the near future and will take into consideration breaking the files up. In the mean time, if you upgrade to Excel 2007 it will support over 1M rows so it can read and manipulate the entire file. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets

I was just hoping I wouldn't have to give Bill G. more of my money I think if you zip them in each exchange that would do it. Do you have a date when the changes are going to happen? What changes do you know are going to happen. j

Just separating, futures, stocks, options etc. would be a great improvement. Regards, Geoff
