"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

"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

Author	Topic: Aborting Request for History Data (5 messages, Page 1 of 1)
DTN_Steve_G -DTN IQFeed- Posts: 28 Joined: Oct 1, 2004	Posted: Oct 13, 2004 03:41 PM Msg. 1 of 5 Hi, I epxerienced, that requests for historical data may sometimes last long (e.g. 10 days for daily MSFT data > 30 secs). Is there any way to abort a request and to make sure, that no data for this request is returned after abortion ?

However, we agree this would be a good thing to have. So, we'll place it on the wish list for a future product version. Thank you, Steve Grunberg IQFeed Developer Support DTN Market Access

If I close the history socket, am I actually saving any net bandwidth?
