My software is able to connect to retrieve historical data, but cannot connect to quote servers:

SERVER STATUS = DISCONNECTED.

I wanted to post here to alert someone at IQFeed.

Is this a planned outage? If so, it would be really great if you could announce it somewhere so that your customers don't spend a couple hours diagnosing the problem, pulling their hair out, etc.

If this is an unplanned outage, can you please investigate? I know it's Easter, but instruments start trading tonight in the overnight sessions, and I want to make sure everything will work.

Thanks

Hi Matthew,

I also started getting the disconnections around 10 PM Eastern Time on Saturday (April 15). I haven't been able to resolve it as of yet on my end and haven't changed anything on my end.

Background Info
I was hoping it would be working better this morning, but it isn't. I'm using the TCP/IP connection and receive the proper S,KEYOK<LF> response after connecting but after about 30 seconds, I get a disconnection and then the system reconnects. Historical requests seem to normally go through fine, but they sometimes get aborted as well.

So . . . it looks like something has changed on the IQFeed side of things.

Our ops group is looking into this and it should be resolved shortly.

WOW Jay, I didn't expect you guys to work on this today! Let's hope the resolution is quick and easy so you can get back to enjoying your weekend.

I've been connected for 12 minutes without a disconnect so far, so whatever you are doing is helping.

I've been connected for over an hour without a disconnect, so from my viewpoint, the problem has been solved.

Thanks Jay et al!
