Hi guys. I'm trying to connect IQFeed to Amibroker as a new database. I did not find anything specific to do when I searched the DTn forum or the Amibroker forum. I created a new database in Amibroker following the steps here:

http://www.amibroker.com/iqfeed.html

however, whereas it shows under this link the company names next to the tickers, I don't have that. In the bottom left corner of the Amibroker Analysis Window, the connection status is red. It says:

---------
Pluging Status
Disconnected.

Can not open Admin connection on port 0.
Socket Error code = 10049
This usually happends when IQConnect did not create listening socket properly.
Contact IQFeed support for help.

Use right mouse button to reconnect.
-------
So I tried the right mouse button but nothing changed. I'm not sure where to check the ports and sockets settings. Thanks.

Jase,
In looking at our connections log, we don't show that you've ever established a connection with IQFeed. Have you installed the IQFeed client?

If you've already installed, please test your IQFeed connection by using one of the apps found in the IQFeed Applications folder that should be on your desktop. Test the SnapQuote and the Time & Sales apps. If only the SnapQuote returns data, not the Time & Sales, then you likely have another software on your machine that is blocking the port we use for history. For help with that, please contact our support directly (chat, phone 800 779 7299, or email support@iqfeed.net).

If both the SnapQuote and the Time & Sales are working and providing data, then this issue isn't with IQFeed on your machine. If the problem persists in Amibroker, you would likely need to reach out to Amibroker support.
