traps -Interested User- Posts: 15 Joined: May 24, 2011	Posted: Sep 10, 2011 02:38 PM Msg. 1 of 11 Hi, Could we please get a version of iqconnect.exe which doesn't bring up a window when connecting? Ideally it would be another executable called something like iqconnect_console.exe. Why? To make it easy to run on Linux. Currently, iqconnect.exe brings up a window when connecting and thus you have to installed a ton of extract packages to run Xvfb. If we had a console version, all this extra weight and complexity wouldn't be needed. Thanks a lot, Adam

AlphaRider -Interested User- Posts: 3 Joined: Jan 25, 2016	Posted: Oct 2, 2016 10:54 AM Msg. 3 of 11 I would like to run IQFeed in a Docker container, either Windows or Linux. Please provide a non-GUI based IQFeed installer and runtime.

andrewm -Interested User- Posts: 52 Joined: Feb 23, 2015	Posted: Nov 10, 2016 03:50 PM Msg. 5 of 11 Yes, this would be very helpful. Either a command line argument to disable the GUI or a non-GUI version of the exe. Is it coming?

While we won't be providing a non-GUI version of DTN IQFeed, we do have plans to make IQFeed run more easily in cross platform environments. It's in the early stages at this time but is on our Roadmap. Jay Froscheiser Vice President, Active Trader Products
darkpool -Interested User- Posts: 9 Joined: Jul 17, 2015	Posted: Dec 13, 2016 05:00 AM Msg. 8 of 11 That's great. Very glad to hear IQFeed is taking note of the large user base it has of linux users. Although iqfeed works on Linux using Wine it is a bloated and unfortunate solution. First prize would be a non GUI version. Simply run it from the terminal with your login details,...done!

IQFeed will continue to be a GUI based product however as the exchanges continue to tighten their fee structure around non-display applications. While there are users who would like to build non-display applications off our service, you would be required to pay thousands of dollars per month to the exchanges for the privilege. Unless the exchanges change their tune and create more trader friendly fee structures, our plan is to continue providing our display applications in order to provide service to a broader audience.
