"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

Two question on the 5 min bar data retrieved from IQFeed:
1) are they the "Last Trade" price? There is another thread that indicates it is not midpoint. Is there a way to get MidPoint 5 min bar price?

2) when comparing with the same 5 min bars from Interactive Brokers, we notice the bars are consistently off by one: e.g. the 9:35 AM IQFeed price matches 9:30AM IB price.
Does IQFeed provide begin-of-the-bar price?

Thank you.

Good morning,

Unfortunately, the answer to both questions would be no. You would have to build the mid from the high + low/2 to get a mid and then adjust the timestamps by subtracting the interval to have them be begin times.

Sorry, I could not be of more help,

Tim
