"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
"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email
"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 am enjoying the feed very much - so superior to the broker provided feed I was previously using." - Comment from George
"I ran your IQFeed DDE vs. my broker vs. a level II window for some slow-moving options. I would see the level II quote change, then your feed update instantaneously. My broker's DDE, however, would take as much as 30 seconds to update. I am not chasing milliseconds, but half a minute is unacceptable." - Comment from Rob

Hello,

I am not familiar with the 3rd party API parts, but for our end, you would want to access our level one data and then, as that data comes in, do any parsing or calculations you need to on it, and then use that data to update the other app. I would assume that any app that allows for a customized symbol would have a method defined, OnSymbolUpdate or something along those lines. But, I am guessing it will be different for each charting app.

We do not have an option that would allow you, via the API, to create a symbol within our servers that would in turn, automatically update on 3rd party apps. It will all have to happen at the API/3rd party app layer.

Tim
