"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
"Version 4.0.0.2 has been working well for me and I appreciate that it is now a much tighter client to work with. I feel I can go to press with my own application and rely on a stable platform" - Comment from David in IA.
"You have an excellent feed. Very few spikes for Spot Forex." - Comment from Public Forum Post
"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
"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
"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
"I just wanted to say how happy I am with your service. I was able to download the API docs last week and I was able to replicate Interactive Brokers historical bar queries and realtime bar queries over the weekend. That was about one of the fastest integrations that I've ever done and it works perfectly!!!!" - Comment from Jason via Email
"I am keeping IQFeed, much better reliabilty than *******. I may refer a few other people in the office to switch as well." - Comment from Don
"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
"And by the way, have to say this. I love the IQFeed software. It's rock solid and it has a really nice API." - Comment from Thomas via RT Chat

IQFeed Datafeed Wish List » Please add quotes to historical tick data, now it only provides trades May 13, 2014 12:39 PM (Total replies: 8)

You could cut down on band width requirements using compression. I store all of my tick data using a simple compression system that yields on average around five to one compression. I am sure that other compression systems would give even greater compression. My system allows me to also keep data sets compressed in RAM and decompress them on the fly while I back test. It does require me to store ask, bid and trades in separate files but that should work well for your business as well.

I also just signed up for IQFeed and I am disappointed to find that you don't provide all bid ask quotes in the historical tick data. My old vendor provide one week of past bid ask tick data which worked well for me. That would not require a lot of additional storage to provide. It does require about five times the bandwidth over the trade only ticks. I would suggest only making it available when the markets are closed. I need those prices. I may have to go back to my old vendor.
