"Everything is working great ! Very impressive client. The news refreshes better and is more pertinent than the ******* feed I paid $ 100/month for. I Also like the charts a lot." - Comment from Leon

"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

"It’s so nice to be working with real professionals!" - Comment from Len

"For anyone considering using DTN.IQ for a data feed, my experience with the quality of data and the tech support has been very positive." - Comment from Public Forum

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

"I've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from Public Forum

"Its working FABULOUSLY for me!! Holy cow...there has been so much I've been missing lately, and with this feed and Linnsoft software...I'm in the game now." - Comment from Chris R.

"I've been using IQFeed 4 in a multi-threaded situation for the last week or two on 2600 symbols or so with 100 simultaneous daily charts, and I have had 100% responsiveness." - Comment from Scott

"I will tell others who want to go into trading that DTN ProphetX is an invaluable tool, I don't think anyone can trade without it..." - Comment from Luther

Author	Topic: Pauses & slow data off the open? (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
adrian -Interested User- Posts: 28 Joined: Oct 24, 2008	Posted: Apr 23, 2010 09:00 AM Msg. 1 of 4 I'm using QuoteTracker and several times each morning my IQFeed feed will stop getting data or will lag badly behind InteractiveBroker's data. I think it's IQFeed and not IB's problem because none of my charts update and I'm able to execute trades at the displayed NBBO on IB which may be 0.10 or 0.20 away from what IQFeed is showing (on a $25 stock like LVS). I experience the same thing when using custom applications so I don't think this is a QuoteTracker bug. My system stats show 60% Memory usage and none of my 4 cores show more than 70% usage so it's probably not a hardware issue (and, as I've said, IB is still updating). Is there a way of fixing or tracking down this problem?

I use SierraChart and never had any problems (tick charts of @ES, @NQ, @YM, USO, UNG, COMPX.X, INDU.X, SPX.XO, TICK.Z) . IQFeed and TWS go hand in hand, news events included. There might be an occasional discrepancy one way or the other, but nothing serious (in sub-second range).

Our customer service department should be able to help you identify the issue if you contact them via phone or chat.
