I am using the Qcharts OCX and Qcharts feed. I am not part of the QDP
developers group...too expensive...but I am a paying member for their
regular live data service.
I have their OCX and have code that calls for the data. There OCX
registers as a result of Qcharts installation, and the object,
property and method syntax can be had.
There has been change in the wind at Q with the switch from Qfeed to
QDP for deveolopers, and on top of that, you will still need a Live
Data subscription. QDP is delayed, but also includes 24 hour
simulators allowing for testing outside of normal market hours....
QDP has an initiation fee of 300 bucks, costs 160 bucks a month, and
you will need another 80-150 for live data per month! Can you believe
that?
Qcharts and Lycos Pissed alot of people off when they instituted the
QDP program....I understand quite a few folks just said screw it and
either abandoned QCharts data for further developement, or bailed
altogether....
You can also grab DDE data from Q if you want under the normal
subscription....thier DDE feed and thier XLS plug-in do not use VBA
from what I can tell...it looks like all XLS type scripts...
Of course you will need Qcharts membership...starts at 80 bucks +
exchange fees. Emini is available for 10 bucks.
TAL has an excellent developers program, and a very reliable feed
from what I understand...more than I can say for Q. Bit pricey though.

At the risk of being redundent...
Yes it lacks time stamps and there are implications to this.
First off tickPrice and tickSize do NOT pulse concurentley.
Early on with my developement I crafted a TOS (time of sales) grid.
When I logged on to try it out, the size and price columns quickley
got out of sync.
Both tickPrice and tickSize only pulse when there is a change. To
do
so otherwise would in essence make IB a data provider.
I for one do not want to see IB turn into a data provider.
I simply included an ActiveX component from my data provider and
was
able to bring in a secondary feed. I can now print a TOS grid, and
compare Last from two sources if desired...

You're right. It doesn't have time stamps or cumulative volume.

Aloha,
The API appears not to support time stamps on quotes. Is this
correct?
Or did I miss it?
Thanks
