"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

"There is no doubt that IQFeed is the best data provider. I am very satisfied with your services. And IQFeed is the only one that I would recommend to my friends. Now, most of them are using your product in China." - Comment from Zhezhe

"DTN feed was the only feed that consistently matched Bloomberg feed for BID/ASK data verification work these past years......DTN feed is a must for my supply & demand based trading using Cumulative Delta" - Comment from Public Forum Post

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

"Thank you so much - awesome feed, awesome service!" - Comment from Greg via Email

Now I have a new project where a client would like to monitor currency pairs like USD/EUR. I see from some of the posts that this is possible. But I keep getting symbol not found. I assume I would get quotes by watching a symbol as I did with stocks. Is there a special format for these symbols? Is there something else I'm missing? Thanks.

We have 2 packages available. $25 for basic forex which includes Barclays and Tullet data, and $50 for Premium Forex which includes HotSpotFX forex data. 2) Depending upon which service you subscribe to, you will need to use the proper symbols. Symbology can be found at http://www.iqfeed.net/symbolguide/index.cfm?symbolguide=guide&displayaction=support§ion=guide&web=iqfeed . Essentially you need to use a T (for tullet), B (for barclays), or H (for HotSpot) in front of the currency pair to get the spot price. To add forex to your subscription, go to www.iqfeed.net and click on "Add Services", then "Add Premium Services". Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets
