"I've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from Public Forum

"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.

"I just wanted to let you know how fast and easy I found it to integrate IQFeed into our existing Java code using your JNI client. In my experience, such things almost never go so smoothly - great job!" - Comment from Nate

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

"If you want customer service that answers the phone, your best bet is IQFeed. I cannot stop praising them or their technical support. They are always there for you, and they are quick. I have used ****** too but the best value is IQFeed." - Comment from Public Forum

"I am keeping IQFeed, much better reliabilty than *******. I may refer a few other people in the office to switch as well." - Comment from Don

"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

"DTN feed was the only feed that consistently matched Bloomberg feed for BID/ASK data verification work these past years......DTN feed is a must for my supply & demand based trading using Cumulative Delta" - Comment from Public Forum Post

In all later protocols, this is handled differently. For protocol 4.9, there is an explanation here: http://www.iqfeed.net/dev/api/docs/docs51/Level1UpdateSummaryMessage.cfm Quote: The character indicates one of the following: t - A trade update occurred T - Extended Trade = Any trade that is counted in volume (field 7) but does not set a new open, high, low, or last. b - A bid update occurred (an ask update may also have occurred) a - An ask update occurred o - Some other type of update occurred For later protocols, the Message Contents field contains the type of trade(s) this message reflects. As of 6.0, the explanation of the codes is: Quote: Possible single character values include: C - Last Qualified Trade. E - Extended Trade = Form T trade. O - Other Trade = Any trade not accounted for by C or E. b - A bid update occurred. a - An ask update occurred. o - An Open occurred. h - A High occurred. l - A Low occurred. c - A Close occurred. s - A Settlement occurred. v - A volume update occurred. You can get multiple codes in a single message but you will only get one trade identifier per message. It is also possible to receive no codes in a message if the fields that updated were not trade or quote related. Sincerely, Gary Stephen
