"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

"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

"I just wanted to tell you what a fine job you have been doing. While *******, from what I hear, has been down and out, off and on, IQ feed has held like a champ this week." - Comment from Shirin

"The people at Nirvana have very nice things to say about your company and I can see why! Price and service is a potent combination." - Comment from Ed

"If you want customer service that answers the phone, your best bet is IQFeed. I cannot stop praising them or their technical support. They are always there for you, and they are quick. I have used ****** too but the best value is IQFeed." - 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

"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 cannot believe what a difference it makes trading with ProphetX!" - Comment from Bruce in Los Angeles

"After all the anxiety I had with my previous data provider it is a relief not to have to worry about data speed and integrity." - Comment from Eamonn

"You are either overstaffed or people just don't have problems with your feed because customer support always answers the phone quickly." - Comment from Jay via Email

Author	Topic: Beta scanner won't start up again! (8 messages, Page 1 of 1)
jbclem -Interested User- Posts: 24 Joined: Feb 23, 2005	Posted: Mar 11, 2005 08:53 AM Msg. 1 of 8 I'm getting the same error message I had a week ago; "Communications error-our socket connection to the server was unexpectedly closed. The program is going to exit. Please rerum Marketscan". This time I haven't reset my router, and I checked it's configuration and it's setup for the same ports I usually have it set for. You never answered my request for the port numbers that the beta scanner uses, so I can't check them. But it was working yesterday and nothing has changed with the router since yesterday. Any suggestions? John

In resetting your router, I assume you have also logged completely out and logged back in (to our software)? Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.
jbclem -Interested User- Posts: 24 Joined: Feb 23, 2005	Posted: Mar 11, 2005 02:51 PM Msg. 3 of 8 Thanks for the port numbers...I set them into the router both for TCP and UDP but it didn't help. The problem still exists. As far as logging in, I can't access the software so if there is a logging in process, which I don't remember, I haven't been able to do it. John

You must be logged in to one of these for the Scans to work. The ports will be TCP btw. If you have been logged into IQFeed and/or DTN.IQ overnight, the next day scans won't connect. Thus, you will need to re-login to establish new security credentials. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.

I disabled the port settings in the router and Marketscan is still working, even after opening and closing it. So the problem doesn't seem to have anything to do with the ports...somehow Marketscan is losing it's connection and logging in again is starting it back up. I'm running Quotetracker at the same time...could this have anything to do with it? John

The scans server is changing the security credentials each night, so you will need to re-login to get them for the scans app to work the next day. We will be making a change to the server to correct this. In the mean time, you will need to re-login to IQFeed each day to get scans to operate. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.
jbclem -Interested User- Posts: 24 Joined: Feb 23, 2005	Posted: Mar 11, 2005 05:35 PM Msg. 7 of 8 That makes sense. Some days I have to close TS2000i and DTN IQFeed, and restart them, because the connection from Hyperserver is dropped. Some days I don't have to do this. That would explain why this problem has been intermittent. Please let me know when you make the change in the server. In the meantime I guess I'll have to close down DTN and the others each night...a royal pain because I usually have to "end task" IQConnect.exe and Hypersrv.exe, and also close down Quotetracker (IQFeed will not restart if Quotetracker is open), and it often takes two or three tries to get them(excluding QT) to all start up together. And sometimes even when there is no IQConnect.exe visible in the TaskManager (Win2000), I'll still get an error message that IQ is still running and thus won't start up. Then I have to reboot the computer. John

I think it was just a configuration change that was needed, so we should be able to do it quickly (no need to write code .. QA ... etc). Jay Fro Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.
