"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

"Awesome response, as usual. It is a sincere and refreshing pleasure to do business with DTN, compared to your competition." - Comment from Ryan

"I just wanted to say how happy I am with your service. I was able to download the API docs last week and I was able to replicate Interactive Brokers historical bar queries and realtime bar queries over the weekend. That was about one of the fastest integrations that I've ever done and it works perfectly!!!!" - Comment from Jason via Email

"I was with ******* for 4 years at $230 a month, this is a huge savings for me, GOD BLESS YOU PEOPLE," - Comment from T.S. via Email

"Everything is working amazing now. I'm already impressed with the true-tick feed of IQFeed and it's ability to support my 480 symbol layout." - Comment from Tyler via Email

"I will tell others who want to go into trading that DTN ProphetX is an invaluable tool, I don't think anyone can trade without it..." - Comment from Luther

"And by the way, have to say this. I love the IQFeed software. It's rock solid and it has a really nice API." - Comment from Thomas via RT Chat

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

Author	Topic: Timestamps on historical data (7 messages, Page 1 of 1)
Dierk Droth -Interested User- Posts: 67 Joined: Aug 11, 2004	Posted: Aug 31, 2004 05:06 AM Msg. 1 of 7 Hi, I just downloaded historical data (1-minute bars) for MSFT on 2004-08-30 (yesterday). The frist bar has a timestamp of 09:32, the last bar 16:01. This suggests that 1 minute has to be subtracted (since the trading session goes from 09:00 to 16:00). Here are my questions: - Do I have to subtract 1 minute from the timestamp of 1-minute bar historical data ? - Is this true for any instrument (stocks, futures ...) on any exchange, or will this apply only to a selected subset ? - Does the historical data only hold "in-session" data or include before and after hour trades also ?
