"I ran your IQFeed DDE vs. my broker vs. a level II window for some slow-moving options. I would see the level II quote change, then your feed update instantaneously. My broker's DDE, however, would take as much as 30 seconds to update. I am not chasing milliseconds, but half a minute is unacceptable." - Comment from Rob

"This beats the pants off CQG, I am definitely switching to the ProphetX 3.0!" - Comment from Stephen

"I've been using IQFeed 4 in a multi-threaded situation for the last week or two on 2600 symbols or so with 100 simultaneous daily charts, and I have had 100% responsiveness." - Comment from Scott

"You are much better than lawyers or the phone company because you answer the phone when I call! I just love your customer service." - Comment from Isreal

"You are either overstaffed or people just don't have problems with your feed because customer support always answers the phone quickly." - Comment from Jay via Email

"Everything is working great with the API. I love it." - Comment from Calvin

"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

"IQ feed is brilliant. The support is mind-bending. What service!" - Comment from Public Forum Post

"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

"You have an excellent product !!!!!!" - Comment from Arely

Author	Topic: Bulk End-Of-Day Data Download (2 messages, Page 1 of 1)
msearles -Interested User- Posts: 16 Joined: May 12, 2004 Software for DTN RealTime Satellite	Posted: May 14, 2004 10:36 AM Msg. 1 of 2 It would be great to have a facility in IQFeed to allow bulk end-of-day data downloading. I'd like to be able to download, say all stocks EOD data for the last 5 years -- like an EOD service may provide. Then the ability to fetch the last N days for all stocks without requiring a request per stock symbol. The IQFeed server would get a request for ALL stocks EOD data between dates X and Y, build a zip file (compress), and return the file. This would facilitate populating and maintaining a complete EOD database on the user's machine. Even after-hours only would be great. This would be great for our DTN RealTime satellite product TRAX since users want to populate historical EOD data for charting and systems backtesting, but the satellite service doesn't provide historical data, and currently requires another 3rd party EOD data service. In the case of TRAX, the bulk download would primarily be needed to backfill historical data, then TRAX would maintain the EOD database with the satellite data each day by executing an end-of-day process to save the satellite received EOD prices and volume. DTN RealTime with IQFeed could be a great combination. TRAX: DTN RealTime Software for DTN RealTime Satellite http://trax.base16.com

Because it is sold wholesale for redistribution, its price is in the $1000+ price range. We have considered an EOD service, whereby we would limit logins to after market hours only and allow the download of historical data. This doesn't provide the universe download of historical data in a single file, but would allow users to churn through a symbol list to populate their database. At this time, due to development resource limitation, it isn't on the short term radar. It is something on our list though and something we hope to get to. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.
