"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'm very glad I switched to IQFeed. It's working perfectly with no lag, even during fast market conditions." - Comment from Andy via Email

"I noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable." - Comment from Ron in Utah

"Very impressed with the quality of your feed - ******* is a real donkey in comparison." - Comment from A.C. via Email

"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

"Previously I was using *******. IQFeed is WAY more economical, and for my charting needs is just as good, if not better." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"It’s so nice to be working with real professionals!" - Comment from Len

What are your rules for the roll (volume based, time based etc)? Could you tell me how I could achieve this manually? Ie a @EU#C with September as the front month? I currently use your feed with multicharts. Kind regards, Will

We do have the rules for the contracts on our web site www.iqfeed.net under the symbol guide
STEVEH -Interested User- Posts: 2 Joined: Jun 18, 2013	Posted: Jun 18, 2013 07:05 AM Msg. 3 of 5 Loren, I understand that the EU rolls over 3 days prior to contract month expiration. I went to the symbol part of the website, but have not found where this information is. I trade future currencies, energies, grains, indices, metals, interest instruments etc. Is there a pdf file that contains DTN IQ's procedure for contract roll overs? Thanks.

On the IQFeed.net Symbol Guide page (http://www.iqfeed.net/symbolguide/index.cfm?symbolguide=guide&displayaction=support§ion=guide&web=iqfeed) there is a box listing Future exchanges, click on an exchange link and the commodity roots for that exchange will be listed with roll rules for each.
