"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
"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 never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.
"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
"If someone needs the best quality data and backfill beyond what their broker provides at a rate that is the best in the industry, I highly recommend IQFeed." - Comment from Josh via Public Forum
"I am a hedge fund manager here. It’s funny, I have a Bloomberg terminal and a Bridge feed, but I still like having my DTN feed!" - Comment from Feras
"You have an excellent product !!!!!!" - Comment from Arely
"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
"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum
"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

Please disregard this post. The issue was due to my installation error and it is resolved now.

IQFeed Developer Support » Tick history is not working Jan 28, 2005 04:16 PM (Total replies: 8)

I am using my own program and it normally downloads data on daily basis just fine.
The commands for which I could not get a response were:
HT,DISK,1;
HT,ISSX,1;
HT,NT,1;

Every time I tried to write any of these strings to the socket (one at a time, of course), I was getting the following response:
"..Error: History data currently unavailable".

These commands worked during the day yesterday and they are working today, but I had a problem last night for about an hour until I gave up. Socket buffer overflow and the like are not to blame, since I also tried re-logins, computer restarts, longer delays, etc.

I did not try running a sample application though, and it would be a good thing to do next time I encounter this problem.
But, anyway, doesn't the error message "History data currently unavailable" indicate the data feed for ticks was down? Is it the iqfeed client who generates this message, or it is coming from the data server?

The tick history is not working again no matter if I am requesting a single day or several days of data.
It is Thursday, 2005-01-28 01:51 (Iqfeed time)

The EOD history is working though.

The problem persisted next day too. Then I started getting the historical tick data on Jan 17th.
No changes in my software were done. The problem went away suddenly just like it appeared.
Did anybody else experience the issue over the past weekend?

To js2004:
Yes, I remember seing a discussion about it in this forum. However, it was not the reason: the symbols are always entered in the uppercase.
Thank you for the suggestion though.

Is the tick history down?

I am not getting tick data for any symbols.
The feed returns "..Error: History data currently unavailable".

Daily history is working fine though.
