"IQ feed works very well, does not have all of the normal interruptions I have grown used to on *******" - Comment from Mark

"I had always used ******* but for the past 2 weeks have been trying DTN IQFeed. Customer support has been extraordinary. They call just to make sure your problem hasn't recurred." - Comment from Public Forum

"You are either overstaffed or people just don't have problems with your feed because customer support always answers the phone quickly." - Comment from Jay 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

"You have an excellent product !!!!!!" - Comment from Arely

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

"I am a hedge fund manager here. It’s funny, I have a Bloomberg terminal and a Bridge feed, but I still like having my DTN feed!" - Comment from Feras

"After all the anxiety I had with my previous data provider it is a relief not to have to worry about data speed and integrity." - Comment from Eamonn

"I used to have *******, but they are way more money for the same thing. I have had no probs with data from DTN since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"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

Author	Topic: eMiniNY Crude and Natural Gas Not in Symbol Directory Since Moving Back to NYMEX (9 messages, Page 1 of 1)
sd_cm -Interested User- Posts: 22 Joined: Aug 23, 2004	Posted: Jul 19, 2005 10:03 AM Msg. 1 of 9 I've noticed these contracts (e.g. @QMU5 and @QNU5) are no longer in the symbols directory after moving from GLOBEX back to NYMEX in June. The last contract in the symbol directory for both of these is July 05. We process the symbol directory programatically and therefore are missing these products. Can these be added back to the symbol directory so the directory actually matches what is available on IQFeed? Thanks, Scott Symbol Directory on 7/19/05 missing symbols after 7/05: @QG# EMINI NATURAL GAS JUL 2005 NYMEX @QGK5 EMINI NATURAL GAS MAY 2005 NYMEX @QGM5 EMINI NATURAL GAS JUN 2005 NYMEX @QGN5 EMINI NATURAL GAS JUL 2005 NYMEX @QM# EMINI CRUDE OIL JUL 2005 NYMEX @QMK5 EMINI CRUDE OIL MAY 2005 NYMEX @QMM5 EMINI CRUDE OIL JUN 2005 NYMEX @QMN5 EMINI CRUDE OIL JUL 2005 NYMEX

sd_cm -Interested User- Posts: 22 Joined: Aug 23, 2004	Posted: Jul 20, 2005 09:43 AM Msg. 5 of 9 Furthermore I noticed the missing symbols are available in the symbol lookup page on http://www.iqfeed.net/symbolguide/index.cfm?symbolguide=lookup&displayaction=support§ion=guide&web=iqfeed, but if the link is clicked at the top of the page to download the symbols from http://www.dtniq.com/product/mktsymbols.zip The missing symbols are indeed missing from this file. Shouldn't the downloadable file match the searchable database on the web page? Please reconcile the downloadable symbol database to current symbols. Thanks.

Looks like a process to update the downloadable file hasn't been running. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets
sd_cm -Interested User- Posts: 22 Joined: Aug 23, 2004	Posted: Jul 25, 2005 12:55 PM Msg. 7 of 9 Thanks. The file is still incorrect. We use this file to save you guys the bandwidth of having to query the IQFeed every time for a symbol or option. Do you have a date by which the process will be back up and running?

Hopefully we will be able to have it running again by the end of the day unless it is a larger issue. Will post when I have more info on its status. Thank you for your patience!

We are still working on the .zip process. Thus, instead of mktsymbols.zip, pull mktsymbols.txt. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets
