"I am very happy I changed. I love the product, but more so I am thrilled with Tech Support. You are knowledgeable, polite, pleasant and professional." - Comment from Pat

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

"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'm very glad I switched to IQFeed. It's working perfectly with no lag, even during fast market conditions." - Comment from Andy via Email

"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've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from Public Forum

"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

"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

"You have an excellent feed. Very few spikes for Spot Forex." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"Everything is working great ! Very impressive client. The news refreshes better and is more pertinent than the ******* feed I paid $ 100/month for. I Also like the charts a lot." - Comment from Leon

Now I have a new project where a client would like to monitor currency pairs like USD/EUR. I see from some of the posts that this is possible. But I keep getting symbol not found. I assume I would get quotes by watching a symbol as I did with stocks. Is there a special format for these symbols? Is there something else I'm missing? Thanks.

We have 2 packages available. $25 for basic forex which includes Barclays and Tullet data, and $50 for Premium Forex which includes HotSpotFX forex data. 2) Depending upon which service you subscribe to, you will need to use the proper symbols. Symbology can be found at http://www.iqfeed.net/symbolguide/index.cfm?symbolguide=guide&displayaction=support§ion=guide&web=iqfeed . Essentially you need to use a T (for tullet), B (for barclays), or H (for HotSpot) in front of the currency pair to get the spot price. To add forex to your subscription, go to www.iqfeed.net and click on "Add Services", then "Add Premium Services". Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets
