"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

"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

"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

"Can I get another account from you? I am tired of ******* going down so often" - Comment from George

"And by the way, have to say this. I love the IQFeed software. It's rock solid and it has a really nice API." - Comment from Thomas via RT Chat

"I "bracket trade" all major news releases and I have not found one lag or glitch with DTN.IQ feed. I am very comfortable with their feed under all typical news conditions (Fed releases, employment numbers, etc)." - 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

"I just wanted to let u know that your data feed/service is by far the best!!! Your unfiltered tick data is excellent for reading order flow and none of your competitors delivers this quality of data!" - Comment from Peter via Email

"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

Author	Topic: ID in symbol lookup? (5 messages, Page 1 of 1)
adrian -Interested User- Posts: 28 Joined: Oct 24, 2008	Posted: Oct 28, 2008 12:28 PM Msg. 1 of 5 I'm confused by the symbol lookup functions SSE, SSF, SES, etc. I don't see any way to pass a request Id and the returned lines don't contain anything to indicate that they are from a symbol request. How is this supposed to work in a real application where we may have several active concurrent requests for streaming data or have multiple threads performing different requests? Can you please add a request Id?

At this time, only history requests in the new request protocol (beta) have this functionality. In future versions of IQFeed we will be enhancing the other interfaces. The intended method for using IQFeed lookups without a requestID is to simply make sure your previous request has completed before making a new request OR to make the requests on seperate connections to the LookupPort. Also keep in mind that we maintain a complete list of symbols that is updated once a day available for download on the website here: http://www.dtniq.com/product/mktsymbols.zip

If you are asking if there is a complete list of ONLY equities, the answer is no. You would need to filter out the equities from the above list.
