"I just wanted to let you know how fast and easy I found it to integrate IQFeed into our existing Java code using your JNI client. In my experience, such things almost never go so smoothly - great job!" - Comment from Nate

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

"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

"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

"Excellent datafeed !!!" - Comment from Arely

"Everything is working great with the API. I love it." - Comment from Calvin

"Interactive Brokers tick data was inconsistent, so I have switched to using DTN exclusively. It is great to no longer have to worry about my datafeed all day long." - Comment from Philippe

"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

"You are much better than lawyers or the phone company because you answer the phone when I call! I just love your customer service." - Comment from Isreal

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

The INTC data looks normal to me. Not every trade has an aggressor, but most do. Can you give me an example of a request you did where there were a large number of zeroes in that field? By the way, make sure you are sending S,SET PROTOCOL 6.1 if you want to see the trade aggressor. All earlier protocols, including the default 4.9, don't even have the Trade Aggressor field.

The API will currently show 0 as the trade aggressor for all trades on equity symbols, because the equity exchanges currently do not return Trade Aggressor data. The IQFeed apps do have a "bid/ask at trade" data point, which is based on whether the bid or ask matches the price of the trade. For exchanges that do provide trade aggressor data, this will be a 1 for the buyer, 2 for the seller, and 3 for neither.
