Hello,
on the weekend I switched from 8.5 to the latest 8.7634.400 and from IQFeed 5.0.0.14 to the latest IQFeed 5.1.0 .3.
I realized that opening a workspace increases the counter of symbols in IQFeed Feed Stats Connection Manager but closing of the workspace does not decrease the number of symbols and therefore limiting the access to symbols dramatically. Switching back to IQFeed 5.0.0.14 does not change this behavior so I assume that something in Quotemanger management of symbols has changed from pre 8.7x releases to the current one.
Please restore previous behavior.
Kind regards
Walter

Re: Bug with IQFeed - Unused symbols are not released
IQFeed 5.1.0.4. is the latest version , but I don't know if it will make a difference...
I use IQfeed as well but I don't use more han 100 symbols, so it doesn't affect me, if the symbols aren't "released"... I didn't know that they were supposed to be...released..when a chart was closed.. I've never checked it before, I'll try to remember to try it tomorrow..

Re: IQFeed - Unused symbols are not released
Walter, please make sure you are not running Portfolio Backtester and Collect RT data w/o plotting is turned off for your IQFeed symbols in the QuoteManager.

Re: IQFeed - Unused symbols are not released
Henry, i have not running Portfolio Backtester and only a few of the symbols (41 of the NYSE and 8 of the NASDAQ out of totally 500 Stock symbols on NYSE and NASDAQ) are set to collect RT w/o plotting in Quotemanger. Behavior is new to the latest MC version but disconnect for symbols from eSignal works as in the previous version. Though this does not affect my trading as I use a total of about 250 symbols to collect data from but the non release of scanner workspaces with alerts enabled to send mails to my local mail server just to check for daily signals requires me to close MC and QuoteManager completely twice to enforce the disconnection. IQFed 5.1.0.5 makes no difference to the behavior.Walter, please make sure you are not running Portfolio Backtester and Collect RT data w/o plotting is turned off for your IQFeed symbols in the QuoteManager.
Doing it manually inside QuoteManager shows the same effect live on IQFeed connection manager as shown here http://www.screencast.com/t/tSuQ8lYXy.

Re: IQFeed - Unused symbols are not released
This issue has been confirmed. The fix is targeted to one of the future versions (not MultiCharts 8.8 beta 1).
