"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

The date format of history data has changed in 2.3.1 for HM (minute data):

In the spec (Historical Data via TCP/IP) it shows: YYYY-DD-MM HH:MM:SS

Daily data has the numbers under 10 padded with a leading zero as per the spcification.
The minute data no longer does.

Example, data from 2.3.1 IQConnect:
daily:
10:55 2004-07-01 00:00:00,7.890000,7.510000,7.670000,7.590000,337718
minute:
10:53 2004-7-19 9:40:00,6.210000,6.000000,6.050000,6.210000,16576,15376

Is this going to be corrected?

Thanks,

David

Another comment on ver 2.3.1 history minute data format that is different from 2.2.7

The history minute data in v2.3.1 does pad the minute and second field with a '0' - however the hour data does not have a leading zero if under 10.

example:
13:44 2004-7-27 9:58:00,5.830000,5.830000,5.830000,5.830000,2800,300
13:44 2004-7-27 10:00:00,5.830000,5.830000,5.830000,5.830000,3300,400
13:44 2004-7-27 10:06:00,5.830000,5.750000,5.830000,5.750000,4500,1200

While it may seem trivial in nature it is important to be consistent when going from version to version, especially in a minor update.

beta Version 2.3.0.2 Fixes the lack of leading zeros in the date and time format in history minute data.

However... The data is reversed now from 2.2.0.7 with the most recent first. It has the same date/time sequence as the daily - monthly data. I like it better as it is now consistant. I assume it will remain this way, but wanted to verify it.

Thanks for fixing the issue!
