My IQFeed is consumed by both MarketDelta and a program I've written. My program is happy this morning, but MarketDelta is complaining that my local time is off from the IQFeed server time by an hour. MarketDelta's charts are correspondingly off by an hour, no matter how I configure daylight savings time in the <my>holidays.txt file. Is anyone else seeing that IQFeed's server is off by an hour today?

Hello Jim, this is normal for this time of year due to the DST changing, as well as later this year when it ends. If you take a look at this link to the MD Support FAQ it explains what to do. http://portal.knowledgebase.net/display/2/index.asp?c=15572&cpc=JpRoH52EF7NTdA03B2IfYF5uwLEKur40r5a5pW2mn&cid=12729&cat=&catURL=&r=0.3091089

If you have any other problems or questions please let us know.

Thanks.

Thanks Curtis. I've tried all the normal fixes, without success. I'm working with MD tech support now. They've had me install an upcoming, unreleased version of MD and have tried various fixes, to no avail so far.

Just to follow up on this, it finally got resolved. MarketDelta was interpreting the timestamp fro IQFeed as being in standard time, because it has no timezone/dst suffix. MD had me install an unreleased, upcoming version that fixes this bug. Unfortunately, as has often been the case with MarketDelta, the new release has new bugs that break existing functionality, and the response I got from them was one I get far too often: "That functionality isn't important, so we're in no rush to fix the bug we just created." Arghhh!
