I don't think you can drop 1003 - I think you will get it anyway or get an error response. What are you doing that is so bandwidth-sensitive? Do you have a low-speed connection? I advise on about 5000 stocks using 1003, 1022, 1025, 3001. Don't seem to have any bandwidth problems except during extreme peaks, Fed announcements, etc. I hadn't realized that they update price when size is changed. That does seem screwy. I'll ask about it the next time I talk to them. Unfortunately TAL doesn't deal with peaks well, as there is no way programatically to know when they have over-run the buffer. (They put a message in the log file, which you have to watch. I guess you could have a thread tail the log file...)
