"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

"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email

"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

"Thanks for all of your help. Great customer service deserves to be recognized which one the reasons I've been a customer of DTN for over 10 years!" - Comment from Stuart

"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

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

"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

"And by the way, have to say this. I love the IQFeed software. It's rock solid and it has a really nice API." - Comment from Thomas via RT Chat

Author	Topic: Is it possible to get daily historical data including current day? (2 messages, Page 1 of 1)
khandrey -Interested User- Posts: 1 Joined: Feb 3, 2022	Posted: Feb 3, 2022 08:56 PM Msg. 1 of 2 Hello. I'm requesting historical daily data on Wednesday, 2023/02/02 using command like: HDT,AA,20220131,20230202,15000,1,TEST,25000 If today is 2023/02/02 I will get data only for 2023/01/31 and 2023/02/01. Is it possible to get data for current day 2023/02/02 (if trading starts) with OHLC data on requesting time like we get it in HIT request?

In fact, daily historical requests include partial days' data by default in protocol 6.1 and later. You don't say what time it was on 2023/02/02 when you made this request. But daily history prices only take into consideration last-qualified trades. (Daily volume includes all tradeds.) On top of that, data is assigned to days in terms of what trading day they are considered to belong to, which may not be the calendar day on which the trade happened. For example, pre-trading on Sunday night is considered a part of Monday's business. So any volume that accumulates during that time will be considered part of Monday. (This is called "Day Code" in the historical tick data.) So your command will actually return partial data for today. I think the problem in your case was that "today" hadn't started yet. The markets officially opened about 10 minutes ago, and if I send your command now, I get this: HDT,AA,20220131,20230204,15000,1,TEST,25000 TEST,LH,2022-01-31,57.0200,55.0200,56.9400,56.7100,7206053,0, TEST,LH,2022-02-01,58.4400,56.7300,57.9900,58.1700,5939348,0, TEST,LH,2022-02-02,59.5850,57.2500,58.1900,59.2100,5613758,0, TEST,LH,2022-02-03,63.3600,58.3300,58.9000,62.7400,8076610,0, TEST,LH,2022-02-04,64.0699,61.8800,62.2600,63.8890,645149,0, TEST,!ENDMSG!, Today is 02-04, and you can see the partial daily datapoint for the day that just started a few minutes ago. It is also possible to omit partial daily data points, by putting a 0 in the IncludePartialDatapoint parameter: HDT,AA,20220131,20230204,15000,1,TEST,25000,0 TEST,LH,2022-01-31,57.0200,55.0200,56.9400,56.7100,7206053,0, TEST,LH,2022-02-01,58.4400,56.7300,57.9900,58.1700,5939348,0, TEST,LH,2022-02-02,59.5850,57.2500,58.1900,59.2100,5613758,0, TEST,LH,2022-02-03,63.3600,58.3300,58.9000,62.7400,8076610,0, TEST,!ENDMSG!, And no partial bar for today is created.
