"I've been using IQFeed 4 in a multi-threaded situation for the last week or two on 2600 symbols or so with 100 simultaneous daily charts, and I have had 100% responsiveness." - Comment from Scott

"I'm satisfied with IQFeed. It's the most reliable and fastest quote feed I have ever used. Although I'm a resident in China, it's still very fast!" - Comment from Xiaofei

"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

"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

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

"I use IQ Feed, Great stuff as far as data analysis information, storage and retrieval is concerned." - Comment from Public Forum

"My broker in Davenport suggested I give you a try as he uses your service and says its the best." - Comment from Bill via RT Chat

"I just wanted to tell you what a fine job you have been doing. While *******, from what I hear, has been down and out, off and on, IQ feed has held like a champ this week." - Comment from Shirin

"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

"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

They were last built with VC 2005 with MBCS. I'm using VS 2015 and MBCS is deprecated, only Unicode is supported. I've just converted two, it's primarily add L infront of all strings, an occasional sprintf to swprintf, or strcpy to tcscpy. A bit of a manual process. Does DTN have unicode samples? Or has anyone converted them and want to share? m.

The problem with compiling in newer versions is that VS 2015 sln files won't open in any other VS version. Hence why we have stayed with a 2005 compile. But, we'll see what options might exist and I will get back with you. Tim

I am not sure if the community edition will allow me to install this or not, but I am installing that to try and use this addin myself now. If you get a chance to try it let me know, and if it works for me, I will do the same. Even if it does work, this is something we will need to be aware of as we go forward so thank you for bringing it to our attention. Tim https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=47262

I'll try it out later today and report back. I'll also zip up the samples I have converted to Unicode and send them your way for future customers. Btw, VS 2015 is free and does come with MFC - I think you have to go through the custom installation to get it. https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/free-developer-offers-vs.aspx m.
