My question is same as topic name:

How to check if Level 1 symbol is invalid?

I send wAAAA.TES\r\n as a watch command for example, but I don't receive anything from level 1 port. My expectation is some kind of messages like "Invalid Symbol" or I should check if AAAA.TES is valid before sending.

By the way, what is different between watch(w) and trade(t) command?
wMSFT and tMSFT...

Hello, you will get back a not found message. You could verify this in a telnet window as well.

wQPPG
Q,QPPG,,Not Found,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

As to the (t)Watch vs the (w)Watch, the w is to watch everything, trades, bids, asks, etc. The t watch will only pull through trades, this would allow for easier processing of the data stream if you did not need the bid and ask prices.

In addendum to Tim's reply about the format of the Invalid symbol message, the

Q,QPPG,,Not Found,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Format is for the IQFeed 4.9 protocol only. If you have set your protocol to 5.0 or greater you will get a

n,QPPG

message instead to indicate an invalid symbol.

Thanks a lot, I'm using IQFeed 5.1 protocol. And I can see the n,QPPG now.

This solved my problem.
