Hello,
 
Nothing has changed since last year in IQFeed. In fact they changed nothing for about 3 years now.
The same issues that were there exist now.
So I strongly discourage switching from eSignal to DTN.IQ/IQFeed as far as AmiBroker is concerned.

Best regards,

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.

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.
