"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

"I've never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.

"Can I get another account from you? I am tired of ******* going down so often" - Comment from George

"I am enjoying the feed very much - so superior to the broker provided feed I was previously using." - Comment from George

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

"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom

"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

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

"I have been using IQFeed now for a few years in MultiCharts and I have zero complaints. Very, very rare to have any data hiccups or anything at all go wrong." - Comment from Public Forum

aamar -Interested User- Posts: 7 Joined: Oct 8, 2021	Posted: Oct 8, 2021 05:36 AM Msg. 1 of 4 Hi, I am looking to stream 1 second data for several symbols. I am just testing so i can approach it correctly. I am using the sample provided in C# to stream EURUSD.FXCM 1 second. However, I expect to get a bar every second regardless of if there is any price change in that second or not but it seems to send quotes when price changes and gaps of 2-3 seconds before the next quote. I need to do a calculation based on the number of bars and if there are any missed bars, it will not be accurate. Is there any option to always stream the quotes per requested interval? regards Aamar File Attached: example.JPG (downloaded 565 times)

There isn't an option to force it to send "placeholder bars" or anything like that. This is just the way IQFeed data works. Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed Implementation Support Specialist
