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

"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom

"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

"I used to have *******, but they are way more money for the same thing. I have had no probs with data from DTN since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"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've never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.

"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 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

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

Author	Topic: Anyone else having problems with history fetch? (5 messages, Page 1 of 1)
taa_dtn -DTN Evangelist- Posts: 154 Joined: May 7, 2004	Posted: Sep 29, 2011 07:10 PM Msg. 1 of 5 About an hour ago my app stopped receiving data in response to history requests. Instead, it receives "!ERROR! Unauthorized user ID." I've tried closing and restarting the app, independently stopping and restarting the feed. Login works correctly and I'm receiving summary messages properly. The app itself hasn't been changed. It's just history that seems to be failing all of a sudden. Anyone else seeing something similar? Allen

For instance the symbols RNWKD and CCTYQ do not exist in the IQ System. We have a new software release and are investigating why the error you are receiving indicates an unauthorized user id.

I see trades as of yesterday on both RNWKD and CCTYQ that I fetched from IQFeed, and both of them appear in the IQFeed symbol list that I download from http://www.dtniq.com/product/mktsymbols_v2.zip every night. So they do seem to be in the IQ system. As for 22000 requests, that's possible. When my app fetches history at the end of the day, if the attempt fails for an unknown reason, the app retries starting at the first symbols that failed. The app had been running for an hour before I noticed that it wasn't making progress, so it certainly tried a large number of times to get either data or an error message that it understood, and it tried the same small set of symbols every time. I was able to restart the app later and have the history fetch finish normally. So the problem was fixed or maybe it was limited to a small number of servers. Allen

That's why you were under the impression that they didn't exist, but IQFeed was providing data for them as of yesterday. Since you guys don't send notice of symbol changes over the feed, my app "discovers" this sort of change by noticing the error message or lack of data when it fetches history for the old version of the symbol name. So it sounds like the main problem here is just figuring out why the app is being sent the wrong error message. Allen
