Hello I am not using iqfeed becoz of the following reasons 1. The backfills seems visibly slower. This is because, if i have lots of data on a specific ticker, it starts the backfill from day 1 till current date. amibroker does not show it as it is still waiting for the current data. With esignal, u will find that the data seems to be quickly loaded as it loads the most current data and seems to go backwards. It seems to fill data as i am already working on the current chart.
2. Sometimes, i have seen iqfeed gets stuck on some tickers. This is more evident during the initial period of time. I tried iqfeed twice and i could see these issues on the first day. Later it seems to get better after discussing with tech support.
