"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

"I'm very glad I switched to IQFeed. It's working perfectly with no lag, even during fast market conditions." - Comment from Andy via Email

"I noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable." - Comment from Ron in Utah

"Very impressed with the quality of your feed - ******* is a real donkey in comparison." - Comment from A.C. via Email

"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

"Previously I was using *******. IQFeed is WAY more economical, and for my charting needs is just as good, if not better." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"It’s so nice to be working with real professionals!" - Comment from Len

Author	Topic: Back-adjusted future contract (7 messages, Page 1 of 1)
bourbonnais -Interested User- Posts: 1 Joined: Jun 16, 2013	Posted: Jun 16, 2013 03:36 AM Msg. 1 of 7 I am wondering about back-adjusted future contract data. What method does IQFeed use to back-adjust historical data?

Lets say the old contract closed at 100 on the day before the roll and the new contract closed at 101 on the day before the roll. So your formula is 101 - 100 = 1? I don't get it, please expand your explanation. Cheers, Mobiius.

DTN_LorenF -DTN Technical Support- Posts: 228 Joined: May 11, 2004	Posted: Aug 2, 2013 02:37 PM Msg. 6 of 7 Mobiius I was looking at the charts you sent. I am not able to duplicate then. I really need more information on how they were built and in what software. If they are built in a software that stores data locally(database) you will need to close the chart and clear the database, then back-fill the data to correct the chart. the support phone number is 800/779-7299 and the email address is support@iqfeed.net

Your last screenshot helped to drive home what the actual issue was so thanks for helping get us back in line. We loaded a copy of Multicharts locally, (we think that is what you were viewing) and we were able to see the same data for both chart symbols for the week in question. We also verified that on every local server that the data for that bar returned the same values. Now, we loaded both charts anew, since we had to freshly add the symbols to our instrument list, so that may be why we did not see the same behavior as you, that is why Loren mentioned doing the refresh. So our apologies getting to this point, but I think this answer will work for you. But, please let us know if it persists and we will continue to dig and help you resolve this.
