"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 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

The symbol guide is available by going to www.iqfeed.net and clicking "Symbol Guide" or directly at http://www.iqfeed.net/symbolguide/index.cfm?symbolguide=guide&displayaction=support§ion=guide&web=iqfeed Basic Forex includes Barclays and FXCM data. Premium Forex add TenFore which has multiple contributors. For Basic, I would suggest using the FXCM data which has symbology of EURUSD.FXCM For Premium, I would suggest using the .COMP symbol which is EURUSD.COMP. Jay Froscheiser DTN

Which our Symbol is @EU# for the Continuous contract or @EUM10 for the June 2010 contract. This is included with the basic IQFeed service but will not be in real-time rather it will be delayed by 10 minutes. For the Contracts to be in real-time you would need to sign up for the CME Exchange which is currently $67 per month and covers everything that is on the CME Exchange. As to the other symbols that you have listed those symbols are; EUR/USD - @EU# - Euro Continuous Contract USD/JPY - @JY# - Japanese Yen Continuous GBP/USD - @BP# - British Pound USD/CHF - @SF# - Swiss Franc USD/CAD - @CD# - Canadian Dollar EUR/JPY - @EY# - EuroYen AUD/USD - @AD# - Australian Dollar If you have any other problems or questions please let us know.
