"I "bracket trade" all major news releases and I have not found one lag or glitch with DTN.IQ feed. I am very comfortable with their feed under all typical news conditions (Fed releases, employment numbers, etc)." - Comment from Public Forum
"It’s so nice to be working with real professionals!" - Comment from Len
"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
"This beats the pants off CQG, I am definitely switching to the ProphetX 3.0!" - Comment from Stephen
"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
"I have to tell you though that using the IQFeed API is about the easiest and cleanest I have seen for some time." - Comment from Jim
"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
"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
"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.
"Its working FABULOUSLY for me!! Holy cow...there has been so much I've been missing lately, and with this feed and Linnsoft software...I'm in the game now." - Comment from Chris R.

Steve hi,

Could you tell me the symbols for DJIA and NAS100 to use for HIT request? Also how can I modify HIT command to get just daily OHLC values?

Also I've read about your benchmarking codes. Can I have them?

Thanks.

AlexB

From our symbol lookup on the IQFeed website, I believe these are the symbols you are looking for:

INDU.X DOW JONES 30 INDUSTRIALS CBOT INDEX DJ
NDX.X NASDAQ 100 INDEX DTN INDEX DTN

To get Daily OHLC, you will want to use the Daily history requests (HDX/HDT) instead of the Interval history requests (HIT).

We don't have any code available for benchmarking. The comment you read was an an internal benchamarking app I compiled for another developer using his productID to help troubleshoot an issue. If you would like I can compile the same app with your productID and email it to you but in the other thread it sounded like this was functionality you wanted to implement in your own app rather than wanting to run an exe along side your app.
