5:10 pm:<fcat> arno...you using legacy or new iqfeed ?
5:11 pm:<Arno> it's DTN/IQFEED direct - no legacy
5:11 pm:<fcat> ok
5:11 pm:<fcat> your daily close prices are correct ?
5:12 pm:<Arno> Chad - just discussing DTN/IQ feed real time quotes fall behind sometimes
5:12 pm:<Arno> seeems more prevalent last few releases...
5:13 pm:<LS_Chad> Can you tell if this is DTN related, or IRT related?
5:13 pm:<Arno> have to stop feed and restart feed to get back in sync
5:13 pm:<LS_Chad> did you check another software to see if that also lags?
5:13 pm:<fcat> I noticed daily close prices were off when my scans based on daily data were returning goofy results
5:14 pm:<Arno> all I have to go against are 2 broker's real time quotes ... and DTN'/ IRT is off
5:14 pm:<fcat> tws not lagging here
5:14 pm:<fcat> irt/iqfeed prices lagging ib here chad
5:15 pm:<Arno> they sync up after I stop/start feed..
5:15 pm:<Arno> seems to happen more when market busy
5:16 pm:<LS_Chad> ok...have you tried running I/RT with fewer charts, etc...going on...to see if it keeps up?
5:16 pm:<fcat> yes definately arno
5:16 pm:<LS_Chad> could be I/RT is just trying to do too much to keep up with incoming data
5:16 pm:<fcat> have you checked your buffer full count arno ?
5:16 pm:<Arno> no - where's that?
5:16 pm:<LS_Chad> there is a candidate 8.5.4 in http://www.linnsoft.com/dl/win/
5:16 pm:<fcat> iqfeed menu
5:16 pm:<LS_Chad> for windows
5:16 pm:<fcat> select status

5:18 pm:<Arno> lol
5:18 pm:<Arno> didn't Bill change something for you in some file?
5:18 pm:<fcat> yes
5:18 pm:<fcat> thats how mine used to be
5:18 pm:<fcat> yes
5:19 pm:<fcat> that number should be less than 20
5:19 pm:<Arno> wow
5:19 pm:<fcat> that's where I like to have mine anyway
5:19 pm:<fcat> though today mine was 100
5:19 pm:<fcat> thnks to yhoo/goog no doubt

5:20 pm:<fcat> lot vol in yhoo today
5:20 pm:<Arno> so how do I change that?
5:20 pm:<fcat> I knew you were gonna ask that
5:20 pm:<LS_Chad> Arno, email those details to support@linnsoft.com, that's also Bill's department....
5:20 pm:<fcat> trying to remember
5:20 pm:<Arno> ok - will do Chad
5:21 pm:<fcat> very easy
5:21 pm:<fcat> bill will fix you up
5:21 pm:<LS_Chad> I'm not even familiar with the buffer full count
5:21 pm:<fcat> simply have to chang a number in notepad or such
5:21 pm:<LS_Chad> would that be an option in the DTNiQ setup window?
5:22 pm:<LS_Chad> ok
5:22 pm:<fcat> it's in the admin folder if I rember right chad
5:22 pm:<Arno> no option there, but I recall it was a simple textfile change
5:22 pm:<Arno> just sent email
5:23 pm:<fcat> yes
5:23 pm:<fcat> admin folder
5:23 pm:<fcat> iqprefs
5:23 pm:<fcat> is the document
5:24 pm:<fcat> chang the number in that file to something larger
5:24 pm:<fcat> mine is 4096 right now
5:25 pm:<fcat> which has never had any lag until last couple days
5:25 pm:<fcat> can't remember what bill said the max was
5:26 pm:<Arno> don't have that file - could be just a Windows thing..
5:26 pm:<fcat> hmmmm
5:26 pm:<Arno> I'll wait for Bill to respond... but yeah, lag just started happening last week...
5:26 pm:<fcat> ok must be different...and likely better....on a mac
5:28 pm:<fcat> when you first login to iqfeed...the number that the file is set to will show in the log
5:28 pm:<fcat> right after yo connect
5:28 pm:<fcat> *you
5:29 pm:*** Derek has joined us
5:29 pm:<Arno> ok
5:30 pm:<fcat> any reports of invalid daily closes from iqfeed users chad?
5:30 pm:<fcat> your's ok arno
5:30 pm:*** Derek has left
5:30 pm:<fcat> derek a man of few words
5:31 pm:<Arno> my daily closes are fine
5:32 pm:<LS_Chad> I haven't heard any
5:32 pm:<fcat> mine were all off
5:32 pm:<fcat> went back to iq legacy...now fine
5:33 pm:<fcat> I got a qustion chad
5:33 pm:<fcat> might relate to my goofy 1m chart problem
5:35 pm:<fcat> why at post time would irt be saving tick data for all intraday monitored instruments when my historical tick data retention is set to 0 ?
5:35 pm:<fcat> or atleast going through the motion of saving tick data ?
5:36 pm:<LS_Chad> it's probably just converting the tick data to 1-min data
5:37 pm:<fcat> ok
5:37 pm:<fcat> tks
5:37 pm:<fcat> kind what I thought
5:37 pm:<LS_Chad> if you have 0, it still keeps it around during day for that 1 day
5:37 pm:<LS_Chad> but at end, it will convert it to minute bars
5:37 pm:<fcat> at post time right ?
5:37 pm:<LS_Chad> yes
5:38 pm:<LS_Chad> only way to have it just drop tick data completely I guess is to unmark for intra
5:38 pm:<fcat> thanks chad
5:38 pm:<LS_Chad> yw
5:39 pm:<fcat> I thought that maybe setting my historical tick retention to 1 day would solve my 1m chart issue...but it makes no difference
5:39 pm:<fcat> tks chad
5:39 pm:<fcat> have to run
5:39 pm:<fcat> bye all
