OK Bruce, now I see why you don't post on your own thread...nobody
else does either! IQCharts has been so successful that most of their
former paying customers (non-moocher types) have quit and there is
nobody to post on their thread any longer. The most recent post was
last November. Let's see a few highlights from the thread...shall we?

IQC (live quotes)doesn't seem to perform well in a live environment, I cancelled. Let me
add my complaint to many of those listed below. It is typical to find a 5 min. intraday
chart that has not auto-updated in 2 hours. IQC works great when the markets are
closed, but not when I need it. Too bad, cause the charts can be really nice. Whatever
their problem seems to be, is over their heads....none of their suggestions solved any of
my problems. In their information they say "don't use it for trading", I guess I now know
why.

It was the cheapest live quotes service out there I could find.....guess you get what you
pay for.

That IQC is a joke, I told them that one of the data is no good,
they did not correct it in 1 month, their data is just plain
unreliable, you can not trade without clean data ...
I drop them after 1 month ... lost money on their stupid data ...

AHHH IEEEEEEEEE!!!!! They finally got back online only to show me the incredible
ramp up on the stocks I supposed to be on top off.

Still NO TECH SUPPORT explanation. I had a ton of cash waiting for this and it blew
right by me.

I might stay with the service just to report back here about every
screw up so that everyone on the net will know not to count on this
service.

I signed up for IQC, paid good money for real time quotes and their
data feed keeps shutting down without any indication until you happen
to notice the real time quote from another source is off from IQC.

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I've lost $XXXX already today.

My last three emails to tech support have gone unanswered.

I agree.

They are complete amateurs. All I get are apologies. Please be patient they say. I've
been a subscriber for many months and it's the same old story. "We are having growing
pains." Blah Blah Blah.

I'm loosing my patience...this a.m. their server is not even up.

BTW...what are you using for charts instead if IQC?

You gotta love it.

Huge rally today on Wall Street and (what are the odds of this) IQ Suite's intraday
databases are all messed up.

These guys need to sort out these problems -- which by-the-way have been happening
for quite some time and continue to plague us.

Anyone else pissed about this?
