"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

"Thank you so much - awesome feed, awesome service!" - Comment from Greg via Email

"IQ feed works very well, does not have all of the normal interruptions I have grown used to on *******" - Comment from Mark

"I am very pleased with the DTNIQ system for quotes and news." - Comment from Larry

"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

"This beats the pants off CQG, I am definitely switching to the ProphetX 3.0!" - Comment from Stephen

"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

"I like you guys better than *******...much more stable and a whole lot fewer issues." - Comment from Philip

"I started a trial a few weeks back before the market went wild. DTN.IQ didn’t miss anything and beat my other provider. I decided to stay with you because of the great service through all the volatility." - Comment from Mike

I can see a few options: 1) no ordering can be assumed 2) updates from each market center are ordered with respect to each other only, however, trade, bid and ask updates must be computed separately based on the update type and the appropriate market center code (fields 63-65) 3) all updates are ordered correctly Any ideas? Thanks, r.

There is no reordering or generation of data done by us. The exchange may resend stuff so you shouldn't assume it's going to be in prefect time order. They can send it to us however they want and we send it to you in the exact same order we receive it from them. Visit our new online forums!
