"Thank you so much - awesome feed, awesome service!" - Comment from Greg via Email

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

"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

"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

"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

"With HUGE volume on AAPL and RIMM for 2 days, everyone in a trading room was whining about freezes, crashes and lag with *******, RealTick, TS and Cyber. InvestorRT with IQFeed was rock solid. I mean SOLID!" - Comment from Public IRC Chat

"I've never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.

"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 started a trial a few weeks back before the market went wild. DTN.IQ didn’t miss anything and beat my other provider. I decided to stay with you because of the great service through all the volatility." - Comment from Mike

"This beats the pants off CQG, I am definitely switching to the ProphetX 3.0!" - Comment from Stephen

Posted: Dec 17, 2009 10:53 AM Msg. 2 of 5 There are no examples that I know of - I'd suggest that you consider using the tcp/ip interfaece instead of COM. Clean and works well. It is more in line with how the DTN client is set up to operate too for all communications. Delphi is a powerful and productive environment. Until I recently started doing some Android projects I did not realize how good it really was. Good luck!

Delphi does not handle COM very well, that's for sure. So, does anyone have any samples or code fragments using Delphi with the TCP/IP interface to get me started?

Posted: Dec 17, 2009 02:40 PM Msg. 4 of 5 I use a set of components (Internet Component Suite) by François Piette now distributed from http://www.overbyte.be/frame_index.html - I do not know what comes with Delphi 7 but it's tcp/ip client components are probably fine. I have used ICS for years with little to no issues. Windows is an event driven system - these work in that paradigm in that you do not have to worry about creating a separate thread to service the dynamic data coming in. Just set up event handlers for the respective socket responses: login ops, quotes, history, etc. Simple and can handle high internal bandwidth. Make sure that your processing code in the handlers is fast, especially if displays get involved. My system can handle 1800 symbols that are very active with no issues on what now would be considered a slow computer. The DTN client has become very efficient and stable over the years and now they have taken it up a notch higher. Good luck and have fun on your sojourn!
