One has nothing to do with the other. What others are doing with quotes would not cause any sluggishness on your computer. Your PC is just not keeping up with the data. Reduce the number of symbols you are tracking or get a faster computer.

speedy, the max # of requests is there specifically to stop people from incorrectly using the system (constant subscribe/unsubscribe from the list of symbols). If you are not doing that, you will never hit the 10,000 limit in a day (even if you switch portfolios every 2 minutes, throughout the...

Ricky - as far as IQFeed getting 400 symbols, it really depends on the symbols, I can have 40 symbols that will put a heavier load on the CPU than many lists of 400. As long as you have a decent machine and do not open too many charts that should be OK. And of course assuming you dont pick all...

Yes, basically. If you have QT get the data from the source and you get it from QT, then you have 2 advantages: 1) You do not have to worry about the source changing data format, page layout etc. You just write to our API 2) You can change quote sources without changing your code for...

Bob, Scottrade streaming quotes are basically worthless - 10 symbols max for the free ones, 20 for brokerage clients and reliability and data quality sucks (I am trying to sugercoat it) If you have a brokerage account, their snapshot quotes are OK. OA - Schwab quotes would be VERY slow for...

We do not have code examples, but then our API is pretty simple. You just call a URL to request the quotes. As long as your app can make a HTTP call, you have everything needed. As for quote feeds for QuoteTracker with large quote limits, here is what we have: (the snapshot datafeeds do...

Option_Attack, What you are doing is considered abuse. The API works for streaming quotes. You subscribe, then just listen for updates on the quotes. The constant subscribe/unsubscribe requests to streaming servers are extremely costly in bandwidth and server resource usage. The 40...

Maverick74, yes, you would be able to use IQFeed alone, direct to Excel if you wanted to.

I think I saw something about them supporting DDE in the beta version of their product.

For continuously updated stuff, you would probably be better off with IQFeed since they provide the datafeed and have the DDE Link. should be easy to setup. After signing up, you can just ask their support for instructions on getting the DDE Link to Excel. QuoteIn I think supports access to...

QuoteTracker has an API that can be used for it: http://www.quotetracker.com http://www.quotetracker.com/help/qtserver.shtml IQFeed can be used through QuoteTracker or directly for Excel: http://www.quotetracker.com/iqfeed QuoteIn is also something you may want to look at...

Basically, no email message should need JavaScript. So, I have that disabled and EXE and other "runnable" attachments. HTML is no biggie if all those things are disabled. I think if you get the latest patches for Outlook or Outlook Express, it does it by default. As for Bat mail, its nice...

SnagIt will work. You can also do this: 1) put focus on the window (chart) that you want to capture and hit ALT+PrintScreen to copy its picture to the clipboard. 2) Open PS Paint (in Start/Programs/Accessories) or MS Word and paste the picture in. 3) Save the file. To post here, you...

the answer to your question is YES. If its an HTML email, it can have JavaScript enabled. If you do not have the email options set to block JavaScript (assuming you have the latest patches for the email client), it would run exploit various vulnerabilities. its also a bad idea to use the...

riggs, just a simple rule of thumb - EVERYTHING is trackable. The question is just how easy to track. All they would have to do is track or block access to gotomypc.com or whatever server IPs that are used by their system, which is trivial to find out.

the specific plan will not matter. You can subscribe to a few hundred symbols, wait till you get quotes on all of them, unsubscribe, then subscribe to the next batch of a couple hundred. Repeat till you get all of them.

what exactly do you mean by "calls"? You can watch something like 300 concurrent symbols. Is that what you mean, or how often you can change the symbols? If the later, than I don't think there is any restriction

I so not know if all Linksys routers have SPI, but mine does as well as a few others I have seen at friends homes. Here is what I found doing a quick search: http://www.linksys.com/press/press.asp?prid=93 "The BEFSX41 features Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) which polices inbound...

Some things are relatively obvious, like the indexing service. Others you can find listed on various web sites. I unfortunately do not have a URL handy but you can probably find the stuff on Google. Registry conflicts - You should not have any if you install the 2 OSs into different folders...
