"I just wanted to let you know how fast and easy I found it to integrate IQFeed into our existing Java code using your JNI client. In my experience, such things almost never go so smoothly - great job!" - Comment from Nate

"I am enjoying the feed very much - so superior to the broker provided feed I was previously using." - Comment from George

"Excellent datafeed !!!" - Comment from Arely

"I am keeping IQFeed, much better reliabilty than *******. I may refer a few other people in the office to switch as well." - Comment from Don

"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. 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

"With HUGE volume on AAPL and RIMM for 2 days, everyone in a trading room was whining about freezes, crashes and lag with *******, RealTick, TS and Cyber. InvestorRT with IQFeed was rock solid. I mean SOLID!" - Comment from Public IRC Chat

"Everything is working great ! Very impressive client. The news refreshes better and is more pertinent than the ******* feed I paid $ 100/month for. I Also like the charts a lot." - Comment from Leon

"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom

"Thanks for all of your help. Great customer service deserves to be recognized which one the reasons I've been a customer of DTN for over 10 years!" - Comment from Stuart

Author	Topic: Need more definition of "o", in field 18, Q record (2 messages, Page 1 of 1)
Bill Atkinson -Interested User- Posts: 5 Joined: Aug 5, 2004	Posted: Aug 9, 2004 03:08 PM Msg. 1 of 2 It appears that the "o" code in field 18, Q record, is used to transmit additional volume information associated with group trades. "o" codes are definitely carrying volume info during and outside of trading hours. Therefore, it seems that we must process these codes to maintain relatively accurate total volume per symbol. Even at that, comparison of our accumulated volumes to volumes reported by other services show unaccounted for differences. There are "o" code records following most "t" code records. But after hours there are series of "o" code records not matched with "T" code records. Please tell us what the true meaning and content of "o" records are. Thanks

It could contain any other field, usually this includes the Total Volume field. The 'o' message is a generic catch all. When the exchanges send the commodity previous day's volume or previous days's Open Interest messages they will be received as an 'o'. Equity exchange volume recaps received during the day can also be 'o's. If you are watching the Eurex markets volume is sent in a separate message following the actual trade message. That will also be an 'o' message. In short, the 'o' messages do not indicate a trade or quote tick for history purposes but fields sent in the message should be updated.
