"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom

"The service is great, I see a noticeable improvement in my volume profiles over [broker]'s data feed" - Comment from Larry

"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

"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

"I've never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.

"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.

"I've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from Public Forum

"I have been using IQFeed now for a few years in MultiCharts and I have zero complaints. Very, very rare to have any data hiccups or anything at all go wrong." - Comment from Public Forum

"Awesome response, as usual. It is a sincere and refreshing pleasure to do business with DTN, compared to your competition." - Comment from Ryan

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

altmany -Interested User- Posts: 73 Joined: Jul 30, 2018 IQML - IQFeed-MATLAB connector	Posted: May 25, 2021 08:00 AM Msg. 3 of 5 You're probably using an old version of the IQFeed client (IQConnect), version 6.0 or older - these versions used fewer parameters (the IncludePartialDatapoint parameter was added in client version 6.1). Simply install the latest IQFeed client and this problem will probably be resolved.

DTN_Gary_Stephen -DTN Guru- Posts: 397 Joined: Jul 3, 2019	Posted: May 25, 2021 08:45 AM Msg. 4 of 5 It's not the version of the IQFeed client that dictates what iteration of the API you get. Each time you connect to a port, you must send a S,SET PROTOCOL command. If you don't, the IQFeed API defaults to the oldest protocol, 4.9. The format of API commands and responses can vary in different protocols. Altmany is correct that IncludePartialDatapoint was added in protocol 6.1. If you include it in an older protocol, the API will respond that you are using the "wrong" number of parameters, because you're sending more than it expects. Send the S,SET PROTOCOL 6.1 command and you will get a response S,CURRENT PROTOCOL,6.1. Then your HWX/HMX command will work correctly. The version of the IQConnect client has nothing to do with the API protocol, except that you can only specify a protocol that is equal to or older than your client software. You can't request protocol 6.2 unless you are using version 6.2 of the client software, for example. Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed Implementation Support Specialist
