"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

"This beats the pants off CQG, I am definitely switching to the ProphetX 3.0!" - Comment from Stephen

"Thank God for your Data Feed as the only Zippers I see are on my pants (LOL), and no more 200 pip spikes to mess up charts." - Comment from Spiro via Email
"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.
"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
"Version 4.0.0.2 has been working well for me and I appreciate that it is now a much tighter client to work with. I feel I can go to press with my own application and rely on a stable platform" - Comment from David in IA.
"Thank you so much - awesome feed, awesome service!" - Comment from Greg 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 have been looking at some .NET code a customer has been using as part of a daily batch process and have been testing this with the IQFeed 4.1.1.1 client.
It was my understanding from the IQFeed documentation, that the <CR><LF>!ENDMSG!<CR><LF> message would signify an end-of-message when using the socket interface to retrieve historical data.
However - when attempting to get data for the symbol 'BUYY' - a symbol from the downloadable symbols list, the following message is returned:
!ERROR! !NONE!
!ENDMSG! !ERROR! Invalid symbol.
!ENDMSG!
This suggests that there can be (in theory) any number of !ENDMSG! strings returned in response to a historical data lookup. The existing code used does not cater for this, and the only work arounds I can see are:
1 - Identify another 'No more data to be received' indicator (API call possibly ?) 2 - Rewrite the .NET socket client class to open and close the socket for every request (Not very efficient use of the socket interface) 3 - Use some form of timer to try and ensure that the buffer will no longer be fed data from the IQFeed client (Not very pretty way around)
The 'error' has not crept up before, so I am unclear as to whether this message format is a new addition.
Regards, Thomas
