"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.
"It’s so nice to be working with real professionals!" - Comment from Len
"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
"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
"Thanks for following up with me. You guys do a great job in tech support." - Comment from Phelps
"Just a thank you for the very helpful and prompt assistance and services. You provided me with noticeably superior service in my setup compared to a couple of other options I had looked at." - Comment from John
"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 had always used ******* but for the past 2 weeks have been trying DTN IQFeed. Customer support has been extraordinary. They call just to make sure your problem hasn't recurred." - Comment from Public Forum
"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email
"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 compiled the sample LevelOne app using MSVC 2008 on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 OS and if I don't use Protocol 5.0 or 5.1 and request GBPUSD.FXCM as a watch I get the correct data and fields as requested. If I use Protocol 5.0 or 5.1 I get an invalid symbol message. Is there something I am missing here...see attached image...thanks in advance

the simple solution to this problem was to add a TrimRight() to the symbol string before formatting the command...eg:

CString csCommand(m_csUserData);
csCommand.MakeUpper();
if (m_csUserData == csCommand)
{
// add this line
//
m_csUserData.TrimRight();

csCommand.Format("w%s\r\n", m_csUserData);
m_IQConnectSocket.Send(csCommand, csCommand.GetLength());
}
