"Everything is working great ! Very impressive client. The news refreshes better and is more pertinent than the ******* feed I paid $ 100/month for. I Also like the charts a lot." - Comment from Leon

"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

"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

"It’s so nice to be working with real professionals!" - Comment from Len

"For anyone considering using DTN.IQ for a data feed, my experience with the quality of data and the tech support has been very positive." - Comment from Public Forum

"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

"I've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from Public Forum

"Its working FABULOUSLY for me!! Holy cow...there has been so much I've been missing lately, and with this feed and Linnsoft software...I'm in the game now." - Comment from Chris R.

"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

"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

What I expect in return is: #HIT1,2018-08-27 00:45:00,2883.50,2883.25,2883.50,2883.50,37031,51,0, #HIT1,2018-08-27 00:40:00,2883.75,2883.25,2883.50,2883.25,36980,264,0, #HIT1,2018-08-27 00:35:00,2883.75,2883.50,2883.75,2883.75,36716,42,0, #HIT1,2018-08-27 00:30:00,2883.75,2883.25,2883.50,2883.75,36674,278,0, #HIT1,2018-08-27 00:25:00,2883.75,2883.25,2883.50,2883.50,36396,111,0, #HIT1,2018-08-27 00:20:00,2883.50,2883.00,2883.25,2883.25,36285,93,0, #HIT1,2018-08-27 00:15:00,2883.25,2883.00,2883.00,2883.00,36192,59,0, #HIT1,2018-08-27 00:10:00,2883.50,2883.00,2883.50,2883.25,36133,244,0, #HIT1,2018-08-27 00:05:00,2883.75,2883.25,2883.50,2883.25,35889,291,0, #HIT1,2018-08-27 00:00:00,2884.00,2883.50,2883.75,2883.75,35598,312,0, I can only get it to work by specifying an end date/time of 2018-08-27 00:45:00 or by specifying both the begin date/time and end date/time. My 'begin date/time only' request returns bars with timestamps starting at 16:35:00, which is the bar current at the time of the request (16:39:00) What am I doing wrong? Thanks, -Jake Edited by bigjake on Aug 30, 2018 at 03:45 PM

When you don't specify an end date/time, the servers use the time of the request. The servers also always work backwards in time to service the request. As a result, the servers simply find the first X datapoints that meet the criteria of the request and then stop processing data. You will have to calculate the end time instead.
