"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

"Everything is working amazing now. I'm already impressed with the true-tick feed of IQFeed and it's ability to support my 480 symbol layout." - Comment from Tyler via Email

"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

"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

"I just wanted to let u know that your data feed/service is by far the best!!! Your unfiltered tick data is excellent for reading order flow and none of your competitors delivers this quality of data!" - Comment from Peter via Email

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

"It’s so nice to be working with real professionals!" - Comment from Len

Please log out and back in and see if it takes care of it. I am using the DTN.IQ client with the beta IQFeed and was able to get T&S on both of those symbols. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets
nsolot -DTN Guru- Posts: 273 Joined: Sep 4, 2004	Posted: Jun 8, 2005 09:49 AM Msg. 5 of 12 When I try @ESM5 and MSFT I don't get the history, but I do get the current ticks as they occur, so the error message doesn't appear. Try a very thinly traded issue like MBJ (only 2800 shares traded today).

A reconnect to IQFeed should take care of it. I checked with our OPS group and they aren't seeing any problems with history servers, however, if you can't connect to it, that is what you will see (no backfill but streaming updates coming in). I am getting both no matter what symbol I enter. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets
nsolot -DTN Guru- Posts: 273 Joined: Sep 4, 2004	Posted: Jun 8, 2005 09:55 AM Msg. 7 of 12 now connected to 66.112.148.224 and same problem. I don't have the beta client installed on this system (only on my development and custom app platform). This is plain vanilla DTNIQ software install. Should I try the beta client on this box?

I would suggest installing the IQFeed beta (you must install it in the same directory as DTN.IQ if you have DTN.IQ installed). If it still doesn't work (if its a firewall issue it may not unless the firewall prompts to allow the new IQFeed), run the IQFeed Diagnostics app that came with the new IQFeed and see what it shows for historical data.

nsolot -DTN Guru- Posts: 273 Joined: Sep 4, 2004	Posted: Jun 8, 2005 10:22 AM Msg. 9 of 12 I got it working by copying IQconnect.exe and IQ32.dll from the beta client (IQFEED folder) to the DTN.IQ folder. I couldn't figure out how to make the client installer install the files directly in the DTN.IQ folder. Before that, I tried disabling "personal firewall" and then "security" on Norton Internet Security 2004. Neither of those worked so I doubt it's a firewall issue (unless my ISP did something overnight)
nsolot -DTN Guru- Posts: 273 Joined: Sep 4, 2004	Posted: Jun 8, 2005 03:29 PM Msg. 10 of 12 After making that change, I now notice that Snap Quote sometimes doesn't show Last & Change (for example INTC & MSFT), but does for other tickers (INDU.X & QQQQ). Maybe it because it's after 4PM EST.
nsolot -DTN Guru- Posts: 273 Joined: Sep 4, 2004	Posted: Jun 9, 2005 11:12 AM Msg. 11 of 12 Another odd thing I notice after the change. Both Watch List and Level 2 fail to update high or low as stocks break out. For example, my Watchlist and Level 2 show the high for the day on QQQQ at 37.72, but the last is 37.88.
