"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

Author	Topic: S,CUST shows 6.1.0.20 instead of expected 6.2.0.23 (6 messages, Page 1 of 1)

I have 6.2.0.23 installed. Yet I see 6.1.0.20 in the statement. S,CURRENT PROTOCOL,6.2, does work to enable certain operations but it would be useful to see that the right version is in place to start with. There are Level 2 functions which have only recently been released and I would like to check the version prior to enabling/using those functions.

altmany -Interested User- Posts: 73 Joined: Jul 30, 2018 IQML - IQFeed-MATLAB connector	Posted: Oct 16, 2021 01:09 PM Msg. 4 of 6 This field in the S,CUST message indicates the latest official version of IQFeed, which is currently 6.1.0.20. Remember that 6.2 is still in beta mode and not the officially supported version [yet]. Simply run the S,SET PROTOCOL,6.2 after you receive this message and you should be ok. You will see that the 6.2 protocol is used by an incoming S,CURRENT PROTOCOL,6.2 message. Note that you need to repeat this protocol setting for all ports, not just the Admin port.

DTN_Steve_S -DTN Guru- Posts: 2093 Joined: Nov 21, 2005	Posted: Oct 18, 2021 10:30 AM Msg. 6 of 6 Hello, the official release version is 6.2.0.23 currently (not 6.1). The version field in the S,CUST message also controls the IQFeed version Upgrade Nag so it has always lagged the actual release date by a bit of time to allow a small number of customers to upgrade naturally before we turn on the nag. Unfortunately, with the timing of data center move, we didn't want to have both happening at once so we are delaying the upgrade nag until after the datacenter move is complete. However, the current version field in this message does not indicate (and never has indicated) the installed version. For example, once we update this field after the move, customers running 6.1 or older versions will still get a 6.2 version number in this field. The installed version would either have to be pulled out of the registry (documented here: https://www.iqfeed.net/dev/api/docs//RegistrySettings.cfm) or by examining the file information of IQConnect.exe.
