"IQ feed is brilliant. The support is mind-bending. What service!" - Comment from Public Forum Post
"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
"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
"If someone needs the best quality data and backfill beyond what their broker provides at a rate that is the best in the industry, I highly recommend IQFeed." - Comment from Josh via Public Forum

"I started a trial a few weeks back before the market went wild. DTN.IQ didn’t miss anything and beat my other provider. I decided to stay with you because of the great service through all the volatility." - Comment from Mike

Please add the point value ($ value of a point change), also known as the contract multiplier, for the futures/options/bond instruments.

For example, @ESM5 trades at 12.5$/tick, 50$/point. ie, contract multiplier = 50. This defaults to 1$ for us equity. Currencies may be tricky.

Hi, does DTN read these? Any comments? Is there a way to determine this information currently? what is the probability of this getting added to the feed? Thank you, PD.

Getting this information is part of a project that has been in the works for quite some time. Our current intent is to provide it as part of our high end commodity product, ProphetX. I haven't had any other requests for this data in our other product lines, so our initial development effort won't be geared towards those products.
