"Excellent datafeed !!!" - Comment from Arely

"Very impressed with the quality of your feed - ******* is a real donkey in comparison." - Comment from A.C. via Email

"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

"Thanks for all of your help. Great customer service deserves to be recognized which one the reasons I've been a customer of DTN for over 10 years!" - Comment from Stuart

"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

"I've been using IQFeed 4 in a multi-threaded situation for the last week or two on 2600 symbols or so with 100 simultaneous daily charts, and I have had 100% responsiveness." - Comment from Scott

"I use IQ Feed, Great stuff as far as data analysis information, storage and retrieval is concerned." - Comment from Public Forum

"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

"Its working FABULOUSLY for me!! Holy cow...there has been so much I've been missing lately, and with this feed and Linnsoft software...I'm in the game now." - Comment from Chris R.

"I would just like to say that IQFeed version 4 is running very well and I am very happy with its performance. I would also like to extend a big thanks for the fast and efficient help that I always receive. My questions and concerns are always addressed promptly. Way to go!" - Comment from Josh in CO.

Author	Topic: IQFeed Quote data discrepancy (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
jrajesh -Interested User- Posts: 2 Joined: Jul 11, 2004	Posted: Aug 4, 2004 10:16 PM Msg. 1 of 4 We were watching the quote for LU and AV for 8/4/2004 and we noticed that there was a one minute pause in the quote stream at 12:05pm ET. When the feed resumed a minute later, the data was all hosed up. The IQFeed timestamp(field 18) reverted back to 11:46am. Time Received Symbol Volume LastSize Time NoOfTrades 8/4/2004 12:05:24 PM LU 20829100 2200 12:05t 3802 8/4/2004 12:05:25 PM LU 20829700 600 12:05t 3803 8/4/2004 12:06:27 PM LU 20519600 1000 11:46t 3817 8/4/2004 12:06:27 PM LU 20526200 6600 11:46t 3818 8/4/2004 12:06:28 PM LU 20528100 1900 11:46t 3819 As you can see, we had missed 14 trades (3817 - 3803). Did we miss any trade ? If so, the total volume which came later is less than the total volume of the previous trade. We also noticed another problem which started at 10:38am, where the NoOfTrades value was being repeated about every 20 minutes later and the values associated with the later transaction did not match the data with the previous transaction. Since we noticed this anomaly with LU and AV (those were the only two symbols that we were watching), its not just one symbol which had errors. This has made our calculations totally wrong. Is this a normal occurrence ? How do we program for it ?

I believe that there is a significant problem with the real time data getting out of sync and this has nothing to do with the way were are processing the data. We are storing a copy of each transaction in the IQFeed before we process it and we are seeing the problem in the raw data. I view this as a big problem.

Bill Atkinson -Interested User- Posts: 5 Joined: Aug 5, 2004	Posted: Aug 9, 2004 11:15 AM Msg. 4 of 4 According to the IQFeed documentation, this may not be relevant to the problem, but we were on occasion concurrently running the Quote History API on the same computer as the Real Time IQFeed API. We were running the History API to validate the numbers that we were accumulating every 15 minutes from the real time feed. We are using DTN/IQFEED/com/IQ_32.class file as reference for IQFeed look up and DTNSymbolWAtch.dll for the history lookup.
