Hi Tomasz,
Thank you for your advice and
information. I recall that there was an issue with DTN.IQ, but
thought it might have been fixed. As you may remember (from
long ago when the eSig plug-in was just a gleam in your eye), I've been
a long time eSig user and supporter. I'm happy with it
feeding AB, and could only ask for a trading interface with more brokers
supported. I'm not thinking so much of switching, as adding a RT Data
source on another computer, so perhaps I'll open an IB account and get
both.
BTW, an AB Users Group for the
Pacific NW has been started as well as a Yahoo! Group for its members.
It's still in it's infancy, with a mix of some experienced and some new users,
but I'm hopeful.
Glad you're back, and I hope
rested. I don't write often enough, but thanks for all the wonderful
work.
Peace and Justice

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,
Tomasz

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.
Bob
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.
Bob
