"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 noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable." - Comment from Ron in Utah

"I was on the phone with a friend who uses CQG and right after the Fed announcement, CQG was as much as 30 seconds behind DTN.IQ. Some quotes were off by as much as 15-18 cents. Your feed never missed a beat." - Comment from Roger

"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 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

"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email

"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

"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

radams -Interested User- Posts: 5 Joined: Jun 18, 2004	Posted: Jun 22, 2004 01:01 PM Msg. 1 of 5 I have two issues related to acquiring option chains for QQQ, with a command such as: OEC,QQQ,0,0; via the TCP interface to port 9100. 1) The number of put or call options is artificially limited to 255, when there are more available. 2) The "nears" option (which I assume narrows down the returned symbols to those whose strike prices are near the current equity price) does not appear to do anything. Thanks for clarifying these two issues for me. Ryan

However I am not ruling out the possibility that all the symbols are not being returned. I will be able to verify this after some testing on my end. I was able to verify that the nears option is currently inactive. We are working to fix this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vik Kodipelli Software Developer DTN Market Access http://www.iqfeed.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Edited by DTN_Vik_Kodipelli on Jun 25, 2004 at 12:04 PM Edited by DTN_Steve_S on Sep 19, 2011 at 09:15 AM
