The Modulus FE ActiveX Data Feed API is an COM object. You must register the control on your machine.
Skip this step if you installed the Data Feed API
using a Windows installer.
Place NAQ.ocx and NAQ.lic in your Windows System directory. Then click Start,
Run and type the following and press OK:
REGSVR32 C:\Winnt\System32\NAQ.ocx
Using the Modulus FE Data API is very straight forward. Simply
import the component into your project, place it on a form or dialog, and begin
using it. Before using the component, you must initialize the
data feed by calling the Initialize
method:
NAQ1.Initialize()
The next step is to login to the NAQ data server with your NAQ username and
password, using the Login method:
NAQ1.Login(ServerIP, Username, Password)
NAQ will give you a server IP address, username, and password when you sign up for
your RT Trader Pro account.

The return codes sent by the ConnectionStatus event will
indicate if your login was successful or not. See also StatusCode
enumeration.
IMPORTANT NOTES
When using the NAQ.ocx API, you must constantly send a ping to the data
server to keep your connection alive. The method for doing this is simply Ping. See the example projects for
more details. You should call the Ping
method once every 30 seconds.
Always call the CloseSocket method to disconnect from the data server
before your program exits to free the socket(s) that were used.
After calling the Login function, your application must wait at least one second after the naqLoginSuccessful message before calling any functions.
