Thanks, I'll try that. Is it that every "PR W" symbol maps to "-*"?

IQFeed Developer Support » Missing symbols or unknown mapping Oct 30, 2017 08:17 AM (Total replies: 3)

Hi,

I'm trying to get data for preferred shares ending in W for any stocks and the data does not seem to exist in IQFeed. I could be unaware of how they're called in IQFeed or it might be missing?

Things like BMO.PR.W, called C.BMO-W as far as I can tell show up as invalid. Same for BPO.PR.W, NA.PR.W, etc.

BPO.PR.W stands for:
Brookfield Office Properties Inc.
Class AAA Preference Shares Series W

Is there a corresponding symbol in the API?

Alright thanks. Will be more fun for new developers to be sure.

In the meantime since I had to do this for both daily and weekly period, I've opted to simply call hourly data for the current day or week and compute a last candle to tack onto my returned data - this way I use mostly the same code for both, and don't need to manage watching/unwatching symbols!

It seems that HDX and HWX don't include the current period's partial data; Is this the expected behavior?

I'd assume if this is the expected behaviour it'd be because you're computing daily data at EOD and weekly data at end of week, but wouldn't it be more developer friendly to tack on an on-the-fly partial data candle at request time?

Seems to me like that must be what almost every developer does, every time they have to request daily/weekly data. The greater good would call for it be included, no?
