Sorry you're having so many problems, I'm not. I tried to duplicate some of the problems you listed and I can't.
For example, you write:
1) I have a long list of stocks and somewhere I had a stock repeated twice. I went and change one symbol to a different one, and started giving me the new quotes for both, even though one had still the old symbol.
So you "change one symbol," do you mean you deleted it? and inserted a new one? and you get the quotes for the new symbol under the old one? weird. I can't duplicate the problem.
Also, you write:
4) Today there was a stock with a 100K vol and 2+ in price. All of a sudden, it shows a 5K vol and 1/16+ in price (with correct last, bid, ask, etc.). Like all of a sudden they said, end-of-day, let's start over.
I believe this kind of occurance is not IQ's fault, but comes from the reporting source.
I certainly don't want to be in the position of defending IQ too much. I've certainly had my fair share of complaints. Every few days I hear the little ding! and wadda ya know, fatal handshaking error, connection to the server has been reset. I have to shut down and reboot to get it working again. It does still hang, also, far too often, for a few seconds or sometimes a minute or two. This really pisses me off.
Still, I've found v.3 much more reliable, faster and generally all-round better that v.2.
Again, have you found an alternative? I want to know of a service with similiar features, especially streaming RTQ, for a better price. Anyone?
Best,
