IQFeed Developer Support » Problems retrieving History in C# .NET via COM Aug 21, 2006 03:19 PM (Total replies: 5)

Receiving History error messages doesn't seem to work. If you register with the AbortedLoad event like this :
m_HistoryLookup.AbortedLoad += new _IHistoryLookupEvents_AbortedLoadEventHandler(OnAbortedLoad)

You get an exception. If you don't register it then you can't tell if you gave a wrong symbol.

Anybody got a workaround?

IQFeed Developer Support » IQFeed 4.1.1.1 - !ENDMSG! query Mar 6, 2006 09:53 AM (Total replies: 6)

Thanks for the clarification. The documentation does not explain what is associated with each error message type.

I am assuming that we will get the 2 error messages(back to back) for a bad symbol request until a new version is released. Is this a safe assumption?

Is it possible to receive only one set of error message with the current version?

Best,

Jean-Francois

Steve,

Does this means that we should not expect !SYNTAX_ERROR!<CR><LF> anymore as an Error from the daily historical socket?

IQFeed Developer Support » History request not returning expected data Jan 26, 2005 12:20 PM (Total replies: 1)

Hi,
I was just downloading daily history last night and came across a problem with 3 stocks: CNBF, C.SGS and CAOP. I was requesting 200 days of daily data for the above mentionned symbols and this is what I received:

Symbol,PeriodDate,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume

1. C.SGS,2005-01-26 03:47:16,0.1000,0.1050,0.1000,0.1050,34000
2. C.SGS,2005-01-26 03:47:16,0.0800,0.0800,0.0800,0.0800,29000
...
88. C.SGS,2005-01-26 03:47:16,0.0200,0.0200,0.0200,0.0200,40000
89. C.SGS,2005-01-26 03:47:16,0.0000,0.0000,0.0000,0.0000,0

1. CAOP,2005-01-26 04:05:38,4.5000,4.5400,4.3000,4.3000,68370
2. CAOP,2005-01-26 04:05:38,4.5500,4.5500,4.5000,4.5000,3100
...
156. CAOP,2005-01-26 04:05:38,0.3500,0.3500,0.3500,0.3500,100
157. CAOP,2005-01-26 04:05:38,0.0000,0.0000,0.0000,0.0000,0

1. CNBF,2005-01-26 04:34:36,12.7500,13.0000,12.7500,13.0000,1400
2. CNBF,2005-01-26 04:34:36,12.5000,13.0000,12.5000,13.0000,4655
...
83. CNBF,2005-01-26 04:34:36,11.7500,11.9500,11.5000,11.9500,3200
84. CNBF,2005-01-26 04:34:36,0.0000,0.0000,0.0000,0.0000,0

The interesting thing is I get the same result if I request a number of days equal or greater than the max numbers above. But if I request 1 day less than this I get what I expected which is 88 days of history for C.SGS, 156d of CAOP and 83 days of CNBF.

Any idea why? Of all the stocks I downloaded last night these were the only 3 with this behavior. Aren't they special!

Best,

Jean-Francois

IQFeed Datafeed Wish List » "Snap" Single and Batch Quote - Request & Reply Message Aug 18, 2004 04:05 PM (Total replies: 5)

Thanks Tim,

That would be most useful! As I am doing like sacha and registering / unregistering symbols 500 at a time.

In the mean time if you guys figure out a cleaner way of doing this let us know.

Look at the following thread : http://forums.iqfeed.net/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=150 posted a few days ago and you will have your answer.

You will probably need to implement the socket interface like most of the .net users.

I might be wrong, but it looks like you are using IQFeedX instead of IQFeedY.

this one just bring me to the main page. Is that what you mean?

The link used to be on the left hand side with the other links when you were logged in the developer side.

Data and Content Support » List of symbol in each sector Aug 4, 2004 11:12 AM (Total replies: 4)

Thanks a lot Ted. This is exactly what I wanted.

Anyone knows how to get the same info for the canadian exchanges? I know IQFeed doesn't carry a SIC code for the canadian securities, but I was wondering if anyone found a list somewhere.

I looked on the TSE website and couldn't find anything of use and they haven't been answering my email either.

thanks for your help,

JF

Data and Content Support » List of symbol in each sector Aug 3, 2004 05:46 PM (Total replies: 4)

This is a good idea.

I saw the SIC element in the fundamental data format.

Do you currently have a list of the SIC codes with their names? I couldn't find it in the documentation.

Thanks,

JF

Data and Content Support » List of symbol in each sector Aug 3, 2004 03:21 PM (Total replies: 4)

I want to do some analysis comparing a stock to its sector. But I can't find a list of stock associated with each sector.

Does DTN have this? OR

Does anyone know where I could find this in an electronic format? I have been looking for a few weeks, and I can't find a list.

Any idea or pointer would be appreciated.

thanks,

Jean-Francois

IQFeed Developer Support » Trouble with .NET Jul 7, 2004 08:51 PM (Total replies: 6)

Natalie,

Is there a reason why you don't distribute the socket example? Because in the past it was recommanded to use the TCP interface for increased stability. Is the TCP interface still the best way to go?

thanks,

IQFeed Developer Wish List » Add Number of Trades to the Historical May 27, 2004 09:47 AM (Total replies: 0)

I am using this extensively, but right now it is quite cumbersome to get this information for all the stocks, as I have to register all stocks before the close to get only the number of trades.

thanks,

IQFeed Developer Wish List » History for pre and after market May 21, 2004 01:02 PM (Total replies: 2)

Currently we can only retreive history for market hour data, although we get the pre and after market data when we register a symbol to watch.

Any chance this could be retreived as well? is it currently being stored?

thanks,

Jean-François

That means that if we use the method described on your recent /dev post we can process the txt file accordingly. Will the text file be real time or it is still 20-30 minutes delayed? If it is delayed any way we could have this real time?

thanks,
