"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
"I noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable." - Comment from Ron in Utah
"I was on the phone with a friend who uses CQG and right after the Fed announcement, CQG was as much as 30 seconds behind DTN.IQ. Some quotes were off by as much as 15-18 cents. Your feed never missed a beat." - Comment from Roger
"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 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
"This beats the pants off CQG, I am definitely switching to the ProphetX 3.0!" - Comment from Stephen
"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
"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom
"I will tell others who want to go into trading that DTN ProphetX is an invaluable tool, I don't think anyone can trade without it..." - Comment from Luther

Gary,

It checked the protocol and I am using 6.1 which I had used successfully for a long time. It still does not work.

I went back to the VB source code for OptionChainSocket and ran utility to see if it worked correctly. When I set the ticker to apple and the criteria settings to both put/call checked, near months = 2, in/out of money checked and 10in and 10 out of the money contracts the OptionChainSocket utility is sending this string:

CEO,aapl,pc,,2,2,10,10,,F

The response from the system is

E
!SYNTAX_ERROR!
!ENDMSG!

Is my account set up correctly? The behavior of the system seems to have changed...

Regards,
Mark

I am using the CEO command as documented in the attached image to retrieve equity options using TickStr as a variable and I seek 2 near months with 10 in the money and 10 out of the money options contracts for both puts and calls. This command string complies with your documentation for protocol 6.1 but the command does not generate any returned data. What am I doing wrong?

sCommand = "CEO," & TickStr & ",pc," & " ," & "2," & "2," & "10," & "10," & "MWR," & "1" & vbCrLf
