"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

"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

"Previously I was using *******. IQFeed is WAY more economical, and for my charting needs is just as good, if not better." - Comment from Public Forum Post

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

"I was with ******* for 4 years at $230 a month, this is a huge savings for me, GOD BLESS YOU PEOPLE," - Comment from T.S. via Email

"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

"The service is great, I see a noticeable improvement in my volume profiles over [broker]'s data feed" - Comment from Larry

"If someone needs the best quality data and backfill beyond what their broker provides at a rate that is the best in the industry, I highly recommend IQFeed." - Comment from Josh via Public Forum

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

"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

Author	Topic: Problem with TCP/IP streaming news (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
gwalschl -Interested User- Posts: 46 Joined: Oct 25, 2006	Posted: Sep 10, 2007 05:15 PM Msg. 1 of 4 I am just getting started on writing an interface to the streaming news capability of IQFeed using TCP/IP (sockets). The IQFeed documentation for the SNT command indicates that the date provided is the "oldest date to retrieve in the format YYYYMMDD". Today is 9-10-2007 and I sent a string of "SNT:AAPL::1:20070901:;" to IQFeed. I get only the news for that single day, not all days starting with 9-1-2007. If I change the date to something else like 9-10-2007, I get only that date. It appears that the documentation does not reflect the real way this command works. I would VERY much like to specify a single starting date (like the documentation says I can do) in order to get all news from that point and later up to the current day. Is this possible? How would I do this?

Enter the date with a range, such as "20070901-20070910" to get the data you are looking for. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets
