"I've been using IQFeed 4 in a multi-threaded situation for the last week or two on 2600 symbols or so with 100 simultaneous daily charts, and I have had 100% responsiveness." - Comment from Scott
"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken
"I just wanted to let u know that your data feed/service is by far the best!!! Your unfiltered tick data is excellent for reading order flow and none of your competitors delivers this quality of data!" - Comment from Peter via Email
"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

Hi there,
I am using Multicharts with IQFeed. Due to limitation of Multicharts, I can not do some analysis. May I use Excel DDE or database to request market data from IQFeed. Then I could do analysis on my Excel or Database.

Thanks for your great help!

Charles

We do send a sample Excel sheet with the IQFeed Client that could possibility help in your instance. Located in start/all programs/IQfeed/sample DDE Spreadsheet.
Ther are other softwares you can use if they would work for you along with what you are using.

Charles,

To expand on this, I would suggest looking at QuoteIN, XLQ, or QCollector. All three of these 3rd party applications may help you accomplish what you need. The first two are Excel Add-in type applications while QCollector will pull data from IQFeed and store it to files you can then easily export/import into other software.

You can use these software applications at the same time as Multicharts, so they are quite complimentary. If all you need is streaming data into Excel, you can do that natively with our DDE linking. To get started, use the sample DDE Spreadsheet as it has most of the information you will need to know as part of that spreadsheet.
