"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

"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

Is the Dow Jones CBOT® Treasury Index available on IQ?

I found the futures tickers for the open session (US for the 30's and TY for the 10's) but the tickers for the electronic session (ZB for the 30's and ZN for the 10's) don't seem to work.

I tried:
@ZBM5
@ZNM5

and both come back "is an invalid symbol".

Thanks Skunk, but those are the "Open outcry" tickers, and I'm looking for the electronic tickers:

http://www.cbot.com/cbot/pub/page/1,3181,932,00.html#interestrate

For example, volume in the open session for to 10's was 51K contracts, while the electronic was 929K, almost 20x.

At least, that's what I think I'm seeing from the CBOT website.

iqfeed's @TY is the same as IB's ZN
