"I noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable." - Comment from Ron in Utah
"I was on the phone with a friend who uses CQG and right after the Fed announcement, CQG was as much as 30 seconds behind DTN.IQ. Some quotes were off by as much as 15-18 cents. Your feed never missed a beat." - Comment from Roger
"You have an excellent feed. Very few spikes for Spot Forex." - Comment from Public Forum Post
"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
"I started a trial a few weeks back before the market went wild. DTN.IQ didn’t miss anything and beat my other provider. I decided to stay with you because of the great service through all the volatility." - Comment from Mike

This has 3 parts:
1) It would be wonderful, via the sockets, to request data by date-time ranges.
I.e., HM,IBM,1,309203823-2039230923
would request IBM minute data in 1 minute intervals for all data available between datetime 1 and datetime 2. (the example is seconds since epoch, but they're not valid values of course)
2) Also, it would be wonderful to request the number of symbols that lie in a date-time range, so that I know how many I can expect when I actually request the data. Would be very useful.
3) Also, requesting history data in reverse order would be very useful, as well. (via the sockets)
If you implemented either 3 or 2 I think you'd also be providing 1 (theoretically). Edited by squirlhntr on Jul 19, 2005 at 11:39 PM

I second this request.
And further, we should be able to draw X number of bars from the history as well.
The nature of charting is that it is fractal in nature. It is in reality time indepenedent.
That is to say, if I showed you two charts, one at 15 minutes, and another that was daily or hourly, you couldn't tell what the time frame was unless I told you.
That having been said, as I maintain my data locally, I want to keep X bars of data in storage, not X days.
X days of data would requires some sort of parsing work to figure out how to get and keep X bars of data, taking into consideration overnight sessions, market hours and most importantly interval.
It would be helpful to have both a call by date range, and a set number of bars, and an ideal planet would allow combining both together.

Being able to exclude non regular session data would also be nice but I know thats asking to much.
