"If you want customer service that answers the phone, your best bet is IQFeed. I cannot stop praising them or their technical support. They are always there for you, and they are quick. I have used ****** too but the best value is IQFeed." - Comment from Public Forum

"I just wanted to let u know that your data feed/service is by far the best!!! Your unfiltered tick data is excellent for reading order flow and none of your competitors delivers this quality of data!" - Comment from Peter via Email

"Thanks for following up with me. You guys do a great job in tech support." - Comment from Phelps

"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

"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

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

"Can I get another account from you? I am tired of ******* going down so often" - Comment from George

"I cannot believe what a difference it makes trading with ProphetX!" - Comment from Bruce in Los Angeles

"I noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable." - Comment from Ron in Utah

"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

Update: re-starting the client and turning on logging seems to have stopped the problem...sigh. Edited by Craig on Mar 20, 2019 at 04:02 PM Edited by Craig on Mar 20, 2019 at 04:44 PM

Stop the client, then try again...and everything is fine. Also, when is anybody going to get around to fixing the news display application. Every time I click a news item all I get is "page cannot be displayed" in the bottom panel. File Attached: log1.txt (downloaded 166 times)

Dunno, if you are running in Wine, then the following may fix for you: http://blog.raymond.burkholder.net/index.php?/archives/747-DTNIQFeed-Gecko-Problem-in-Wine-from-WineHQ.html But I am running v6.0.0.5, which might act differently.

DTN_Steve_S -DTN Guru- Posts: 2091 Joined: Nov 21, 2005	Posted: Mar 26, 2019 02:31 PM Msg. 8 of 9 Sorry I'm late to this thread. I'm looking into this but I really don't see anything yet that would indicate this is anything other than general internet congestion causing problems. This could explain why restarting (and potentially getting assigned a different server farm) is having an effect. Can you guys enable Request and Error logging levels and make sure you save off the log before restarting the feed (it overwrites on startup) next time you see this behavior? Feel free to post logs here in this thread or email them to dev support. I'd like to start tracking this to see if some sort of pattern becomes evident.

Is there somewhere I can download the previous version for the meantime? Edited by Craig on Mar 27, 2019 at 07:37 PM File Attached: log2.txt (downloaded 151 times)
