"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 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

DTN_LorenF -DTN Technical Support- Posts: 228 Joined: May 11, 2004	Posted: Apr 18, 2013 12:10 PM Msg. 5 of 13 Jludwig It looks like you were Referencing the bid ask volume for the size difference. We are scheduled to update the servers this weekend to correct that.
jludwig -Interested User- Posts: 9 Joined: Apr 18, 2013	Posted: Apr 22, 2013 09:08 AM Msg. 6 of 13 The sizes are still 100 times what they should be. They were 10,000 before this weekend's fix. Example: C.CPN versus CPNFF.PK The Pink Sheets is showing 100 times the size. I see a bid size of 6800 when it should show 68.

jludwig -Interested User- Posts: 9 Joined: Apr 18, 2013	Posted: Apr 22, 2013 09:47 AM Msg. 8 of 13 While I am on the topic of Pink Sheets, is there any way to get symbols consolidated? CPNFF Shows Last sale and trades while CPNFF.PK shows bid/ask data only with no last sale and trades. Does this make sense? CPNFF.PK should show Last and volume as well.
DTN_LorenF -DTN Technical Support- Posts: 228 Joined: May 11, 2004	Posted: Apr 22, 2013 10:36 AM Msg. 9 of 13 Jludwig We are matching the bid/ask vol with other data sources. Can you give me a example of the source you are using, using the CPNFF.PK symbol?
jludwig -Interested User- Posts: 9 Joined: Apr 18, 2013	Posted: Apr 22, 2013 10:57 AM Msg. 10 of 13 Right now, I am looking at CPNFF it shows 1x25 coming from ACTIV's feed On any other data provider, the .PK is not required
DTN_LorenF -DTN Technical Support- Posts: 228 Joined: May 11, 2004	Posted: Apr 22, 2013 12:25 PM Msg. 11 of 13 Jludwig WE have compared the bid/ask volume's with several Data sources and a Broker. we are matching what they have for the volume. I am still trying to access the site you sent.
jludwig -Interested User- Posts: 9 Joined: Apr 18, 2013	Posted: Apr 22, 2013 12:32 PM Msg. 12 of 13 I understand this. The question is: Should the size displayed be shown in shares or 100's of shares? Every other exchange is displayed as 100's of shares, and you are showing shares.
DTN_LorenF -DTN Technical Support- Posts: 228 Joined: May 11, 2004	Posted: Apr 22, 2013 01:06 PM Msg. 13 of 13 Jludwig That is the acual bid/ask volume data. That is the way we receive it from the Exchange without doing any calculations to it.
