"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

"Interactive Brokers tick data was inconsistent, so I have switched to using DTN exclusively. It is great to no longer have to worry about my datafeed all day long." - Comment from Philippe

"Previously I was using *******. IQFeed is WAY more economical, and for my charting needs is just as good, if not better." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"You are much better than lawyers or the phone company because you answer the phone when I call! I just love your customer service." - Comment from Isreal

"I'm satisfied with IQFeed. It's the most reliable and fastest quote feed I have ever used. Although I'm a resident in China, it's still very fast!" - Comment from Xiaofei

"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

"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

"I am very pleased with the DTNIQ system for quotes and news." - Comment from Larry

It isn't in the basic installation and you need to request it specifically from them. In addition, make sure you are running the latest version 4 of IQFeed from our website. Shut down both IQFeed and QuoteTracker, then download and install the IQFeed from our website at www.iqfeed.net. If it continues to be a problem, I am sure Jerry at QuoteTracker will want to see a log from QT to try to figure out what is going on. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets

When you try to backfill tick data, do you clear the data first for the symbols? Just trying to narrow down what is going on. But, if you are working with Jerry, and sending the log files, I am sure he will be able to track it down pretty quickly. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets

grady -Interested User- Posts: 7 Joined: May 22, 2005	Posted: Feb 22, 2006 07:19 PM Msg. 6 of 7 Its just a glitch that Im sure can be worked out. Not an iqfeed issue at all as far as I can tell. Besides, IQfeed and quotetracker beats the dog doo out of esig. I discontinued esig about 3 yrs ago after having java problems and every time I clicked on live support in esig the program crashed, and I understand things happen. BUT after trying to get esig straightened out for 3 days and to have them tell me to double click on live support within the program for help that was more than my brain could handle after telling them for 3 days that clicking on live support was causing esig to crash.
