Adventures in Automation

Thanks for checking out the thread! Actually, I had to chat with IQFeed to keep my non-pro status. I don't think IB would have been as forgiving...but since I do not subscribe to any real time data through them, it is not a problem.

 

What is the cost for IQFeed you're looking at?

 

That's funny. I too subscribe to IQFeed, but they never called. I guess that it is because I am not so successful like you!

Trust me when I say that success or lack there of had nothing to do with the call

 

Thanks. I'm thinking of not using data feeds through IB anymore, and just use them for execution. I guess that's what you're doing?

 

Correct.
