"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

"With HUGE volume on AAPL and RIMM for 2 days, everyone in a trading room was whining about freezes, crashes and lag with *******, RealTick, TS and Cyber. InvestorRT with IQFeed was rock solid. I mean SOLID!" - Comment from Public IRC Chat

"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

"I just wanted to let you know how fast and easy I found it to integrate IQFeed into our existing Java code using your JNI client. In my experience, such things almost never go so smoothly - great job!" - Comment from Nate

Author	Topic: Different numbers of ticks, streaming vs HTT (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
JoshSN -Interested User- Posts: 29 Joined: Apr 8, 2010	Posted: Apr 5, 2013 12:41 PM Msg. 1 of 4 My example is for the symbol CA, from [10:00:00 to 10:01:00) this morning. When running live, I found 1142 Q,CA messages. When using the historical data, HTT, I found only 272. Over a longer time period, the 10 minutes from [10:00:00 to 10:10:00), I see 611 ticks from HTT and about 1093 Q,CA messages. I have two files containing the data from each, if you would like me to attach them. Why would this be happening?

My guess is that you are not properly filtering trades messages in the streaming feed. Having the files would probably the be the easiest way to explain the difference. Feel free to either attach them or email them to developer support.

In order to match historical data, you will need to filter out only the trade messages. It looks like there is only about 240 trades in that file. The Last Trade Time field has a character identifier to indicate if the message contains bid/ask or trade information.
