"I'm satisfied with IQFeed. It's the most reliable and fastest quote feed I have ever used. Although I'm a resident in China, it's still very fast!" - Comment from Xiaofei

"After all the anxiety I had with my previous data provider it is a relief not to have to worry about data speed and integrity." - Comment from Eamonn

"I was on the phone with a friend who uses CQG and right after the Fed announcement, CQG was as much as 30 seconds behind DTN.IQ. Some quotes were off by as much as 15-18 cents. Your feed never missed a beat." - Comment from Roger

"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

"My broker in Davenport suggested I give you a try as he uses your service and says its the best." - Comment from Bill via RT Chat

"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

"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

"I am very happy I changed. I love the product, but more so I am thrilled with Tech Support. You are knowledgeable, polite, pleasant and professional." - Comment from Pat

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

Author	Topic: Is it worth the effort to upgrade to 2.3? (2 messages, Page 1 of 1)
wmillows -DTN Evangelist- Posts: 116 Joined: Jul 14, 2004	Posted: Sep 7, 2004 12:43 PM Msg. 1 of 2 Hi, I am currently using IQFeed 2.2.7.2 with .NET C# through TCP/IP sockets. I am thinking to upgrade to 2.3? I am not sure if it is worth the effort. Is this version stable than 2.2? In my one year with IQFeed, I have overcome numerous problems, bad real time field data, crashes, no history data avaiable around 9pm PST, sometimes there are history data for one symbol but not the other, minutes later, retry is able to get both data for both symbols. If I upgrading to 2.3, do I need to go through this again? What prompts me to think about upgrading is since last friday, the s&p emini quote became delayed even though I subscribed to real time. The support rep tweaked my account info to get real time quote again. I am not sure why it requires changes since before last Friday, I am receiving real time quote. PS: is there a 2.3 release note somewhere? I tried to find out what API changes from 2.2.
