"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 just wanted to tell you what a fine job you have been doing. While *******, from what I hear, has been down and out, off and on, IQ feed has held like a champ this week." - Comment from Shirin
"The people at Nirvana have very nice things to say about your company and I can see why! Price and service is a potent combination." - Comment from Ed
"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
"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
"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam
"I cannot believe what a difference it makes trading with ProphetX!" - Comment from Bruce in Los Angeles

If there was a system problem, then that may explain it. Why don't I monitor it some more to save you staying up all night! Here in Sydney Australia its easier for me to see what is going on at these times. If it happens again, I will add a post.

Thanks for your reply.

Of course they all have values now, but yesterday, at the time mentioned, they were all zero or N/A. This was not the case with other symbols, only the GM IE, which was new to my portfolio.

I use XLQ to input to Excel, and when it showed the zero values, I went to the sample DDE spreadsheet to try to extract the data directly to see if it was an XLQ or IQFeed problem. When the DDE sheet gave zeros, I assumed it was an IQFeed Issue.

I am new to IQFeed. I do most of my accessing data after the close. I don't understand why I often get a set of zero values when I enter a new symbol, particularly an option symbol, as I had thought that the end of day's values would persist. Perhaps this is just the way a real time feed works, in which case it gives me a problem. For example I just entered GM IE, and every value is either zero or N/A. The time is 12 midnight ET.
