"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
"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

In Multicharts tried to pull the last 120 days / 3 /2 months of data for backtesting but I am getting the following
message

"Message: Not all of the required data has been obtained. Bar Magnifier mode will be disabled"?

How far back can I get data for?

Hello mefTrader,

I show that daily data in IQFeed for @TFS# goes back to April of 2002 and minute data goes back to September of 2007. All tick data in IQFeed is limited to 8 calendar days during market hours and 120 days after hours.

If you are asking for minute or daily data in MC, you want to make sure that the box for "Build minute and daily bars based on tick data" is NOT checked so that you are not limited to tick data restraints. This is found in the Quote Manager under Tools > Data Sources > IQFeed > Settings > .

You may also want help from Support at Multicharts to address the error message that you received. Thank you.
