"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

It would be helpful if the FIGI id for a symbol was included in the mktsymbols_v2.zip file.

I've developed my own C# iqfeed client that I am considering productizing.

Yes I believe it was a socket error, but I'll run a quick test to verify.

IQFeed Developer Support » Historical Tick Data Request Hours Sep 11, 2018 12:00 PM (Total replies: 12)

Yeah I am storing it locally. I'll just have to do bulk downloads off hours.

One question though. Is there a way to change the timeout value for history requests? I cannot pull more than about three days worth of tick data before the connection closes. I suspect its timing related.

IQFeed Developer Support » Historical Tick Data Request Hours Sep 10, 2018 12:39 PM (Total replies: 12)

That's going to make backtesting/simulation difficult.

IQFeed Developer Support » Historical Tick Data Request Hours Sep 10, 2018 11:30 AM (Total replies: 12)

May I ask why this limitation exists? Also what defines trading hours? I'm working with futures and they trade around the clock.

Also is this noted in the documentation somewhere? I don't recall seeing it mentioned.

IQFeed Developer Support » Issue with HIT lookup message Aug 31, 2018 03:22 PM (Total replies: 3)

I was afraid you would say that :(

Calculating the end time is going to be tricky.

Can you guys clarify the documentation to indicate this isn't possible?

IQFeed Developer Support » Issue with HIT lookup message Aug 30, 2018 03:44 PM (Total replies: 3)

I am trying to get 10 bars of 5 minute history from a point in time forward, and I can't get it to work.

Here is my request and responses - I am specifying the begin date/time only:

I am specifying only a begin time and bar count. What I expect in return is:

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

Isn't this information available with HDT/HDX lookup requests?

Hmm.

I tried request per socket again and it works fine. Not sure what I was doing different before.

Thanks!

IQFeed Developer Support » Making multiple simultaneous history lookup requests Jan 31, 2018 04:27 PM (Total replies: 3)

Is it possible to make multiple history lookup requests at the same time? I can issue two requests, but the second one isn't processed until after the first. I've tried with multiple socket connections and no difference.
