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

"I have to tell you though that using the IQFeed API is about the easiest and cleanest I have seen for some time." - Comment from Jim

"I like you guys better than *******...much more stable and a whole lot fewer issues." - Comment from Philip

"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

"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

"You are much better than lawyers or the phone company because you answer the phone when I call! I just love your customer service." - Comment from Isreal

"I cannot believe what a difference it makes trading with ProphetX!" - Comment from Bruce in Los Angeles

"I'm very glad I switched to IQFeed. It's working perfectly with no lag, even during fast market conditions." - Comment from Andy via Email

"Interactive Brokers tick data was inconsistent, so I have switched to using DTN exclusively. It is great to no longer have to worry about my datafeed all day long." - Comment from Philippe

"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

Posted: Nov 30, 2006 04:27 PM Msg. 1 of 7 Hi, I am having some series problems with data coming in real time. It started few days ago and I am unable to tell why, I have enclosed a sample string below, and a quick inspection will show that this “RCII” stock was priced at 41.23 while a few ticks ago it was around 27.55 a change of 13.68 up. It goes for few ticks and than goes back to normal. It happens on most stocks. I am using Ver. 4.1 in a PC environment using the activeX interface with C# .net. I am reading live feed of some 490 stocks As I said, just started few days ago. Please help. Thanks in advance Shimon Dekel "Q,RCII,F,41.23,13.68,0.496551724,361898,2000,27.7700,27.1500, 27.4900,27.5000,400,1000,173,175,0.62,15:39t,,27.5100,27.5500, 0.01,,,,t,N,,,,11/30/2006,,41.23,,,,13.68,0,13.9 ,-0.492429173,0.,0.,13.72,,0.015037594,2888202.73, 14,2,,500410,CSE-CHX-PSE-NMS,,,,,2383,,,27.43,,N," Shimon Dekel

xen -Interested User- Posts: 15 Joined: Nov 12, 2006	Posted: Dec 1, 2006 09:58 AM Msg. 3 of 7 Just something to add, I was watching premarket data on XMSR this morning with my IQ Feed and Tradestation. The Tradestation feed was reported several ticks that IQ Feed did not....any idea why this might happen? The only thing I could think of is that somehow Tradestation was clearing a trade and not reporting it...but I doubt that's allowed.

Is it possible for you to email us your app so that we can try and duplicate this internally? (you can find the developer support email address in the documentation under support channels)

Posted: Dec 20, 2006 07:53 AM Msg. 6 of 7 Steve, It’s more than one symbol and it’s happening every day, I looked deeper into the problem and found (As seen in my previous post with the actual string) that the problem come from your service on my computer. Since it’s happening only to me and as I am only concern with my problem, I purchased a new computer and reinstalled everything I need and nothing else. I have been testing for two days now and it looks OK on the new PC Thank you all for your help I will let you know if it comes again. Best regards Shimon Dekel Shimon Dekel

Q,DELL,F,52.98,27.75,1.099881094,10215641,100,25.8700,25.1500,25.4500,25.4400,19500,2500,,173,0.72,12:07b,,25.1600,25.2300,-0.01,,,,t,N,,,,04/30/2007,,52.98,,,,27.75,0,42.0,-0.391455233,0.,0.,27.82,,0.013590034,120350109.72,14,4,,15155349,AMEX-BSE-CSE-PSE-NMS,,,,,24219,,,25.60,,E, sometimes, it is very strange that field 4 is messed up. for example, Q,AKAM,F,0.DELL,-0.08,-0.001785714,3785963,100,45.5600,44.4800,25.5000,25.5100,2600,15800,175,175,1.08,12:36t,,45.2490,44.8000,0.01,,,,t,N,,,,04/30/2007,,0.DELL,,,,-0.08,0,117.9,-0.171742945,-19.21,-19.21,-0.529,,0.024150268,7201485.2,14,4,,8674139,CSE-PSE-NMS,,,,,13060,,,45.1235,,N, the field 4 has a string "0.DELL", instead of a float. this happens to quite a few symbols. I am watching the 200 stocks. Does anyone else have the same problem?
