"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

"Awesome response, as usual. It is a sincere and refreshing pleasure to do business with DTN, compared to your competition." - Comment from Ryan

"I am enjoying the feed very much - so superior to the broker provided feed I was previously using." - Comment from George

"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 use IQ Feed, Great stuff as far as data analysis information, storage and retrieval is concerned." - Comment from Public Forum

"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

"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 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

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

"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

For example, I am testing with IBM, GLD and a few other symbols today, all return 0 for the TickID. Here is IBM: Q,IBM,D,94.2000,1.54,0.016619901,7223989,100,95.0000,92.8500,94.1900,94.2200,100,600,173,,2.15,12:48:58t,,93.1600,92.6600,0.03,,,,p,,,,,03/20/2009,,94.2000,,,,1.54,0,10.4,-0.479652165,0.,0.,1.04,0,0.022823779,126553743.60000001,14,4,,9899994,BSE-CSE-CHX-NYSE-PSE-NMS,,,,,24678,,,93.8499,0,N,, Is this correct? Is this something that I need to check to see if it is non-zero before trying to use it? I am using Java with IQFeed 4.5.0.3. Is there something else that needs to be updated on my machine? Thanks, David

Does this mean that you store the historical data in the order it comes from the exchange? This would mean that I am responsible for throwing away historical tick data that is out of order as I read it in. This is okay, I just need to know since a tick that comes in out of order is no longer of use and must be filtered out. Any chance we will see TickIDs in the tick stream anytime soon? Otherwise I will continue to use volume to connect historical ticks with streaming ticks and filter out past, out of order, ticks. Thanks, David
