    data
    
    Hi Bob,
     
    Been a while -- hope all is doing 
    well.
     
    So how is the data from 
    DTN.IQ?  I've got a similar issue with eSig renewal coming up, but last 
    year (or maybe 18 months ago) when I tried DNT.IQ, I found it unworkable 
    because of erratic data spikes in price and occasionally volume.  By 
    spikes, I mean bad ticks being reported which were sometimes 2 to 10 
    multiples of the correct value.  Obviously made a chart 
    garbage.  If you're not seeing any of this, then perhaps they've 
    fixed the problem.  Seemed to be worst (if memory serves) on high 
    volume stocks or stocks with a lot of movement (like TIVO yesterday and 
    today).  If I shut down and restarted, the backfill didn't have 
    the spikes, but that wasn't a viable solution for intraday RT data.  
    Please continue the reports, I'm quite interested.
     
    Peace and Justice

      An update: Got DTN.IQ to feed AB, but 
      have some issues at this point.
       
      Scan's are much faster than with 
      eSignal.

        My eSignal year is up in June, hence 
        my re-look at IQFeed.
        I started to fill out their free 
        trial and talked to the rep; when he said 300 tickers and I commented 
        that it used to be 500, he mentioned that DTN.IQ gives 1300 tickers but 
        wasn't sure there was an API.
        Trekked over to dtniq.com and found 
        that both feeds are accessed via the same API.
        Signed up for the 1-week trial and 
        will report what I find.
