"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
"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
"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

In an update message I get the following in the 'Last Trade Time' field:

25:525500b

What does this mean? It doesn't seem to conform to the HH:MM:SSc field type as defined in your help files.

It's a summary message btw, not an update message if that matters.

digablep, this issue is being caused by the fact that this contract has not yet traded (note that the trade date is empty). As a result, you can safely assume that the numerical portion of this field is invalid.

We are still checking into why this is manifesting itself with a invalid timestamp.

Thank you. I'll adjust for this in my code for now.
