"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom
"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
"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken
"I used to have *******, but they are way more money for the same thing. I have had no probs with data from DTN since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum Post
"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
"I've never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.
"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

Hi,

As far as I know the minimum price increment is $0.01 on NASDAQ for stocks above $1.00 yet I got $6.515 (and other 3 or 4 digit precision prices) for NOVL in the tick-history request, one example would be the 2008-03-05 15:58:50,6.5150,100,6.5100,6.5200,2578287,0,0 tick, w/ $6.515 last price. Was that min. price increment for stocks above $10 or could this be a data issue?

Thanks in advance,

lvarga

I have sent this to our Market Data team for investigation. I will post with more information as I receive it.

The minimum increment for a bid and ask for stocks above $1.00 is $.01. However, the minimum increment for a trade is $.0001, as some trades are electronically matched to that precision.

Thanks Steve for checking this for me. And this would hold true on Nasdaq only right, ie. on NYSE/Amex the minimum price increment is $0.01 for both bid/ask and trades?

Regards,
lvarga
