I am successfully downloading 15 minute historical data for stocks. The problem is that I don't believe the data I am downloading. I get highs and lows that exceed the day's high and low prices for the stock. It happens several times per day within the 15 minute periods. Is there any explanation for this behavior?

I assume that the high and low are for the 15 minute period for which I download data.

Specifically, I am seeing problems with INTC. Here are some data values:

1/18/2005 4:15:00 PM,22.94,22.95,22.93,22.94,653363
1/19/2005 9:45:00 AM,22.96,22.97,20.96,22.81,5255214
1/19/2005 10:00:00 AM,22.8021,22.81,22.74,22.77,3088427

The data displayed is: time, open, high, low, close. Notice the value of 20.96 for the low for the 15 minute period. This is only one of many examples of bad data in this data download.

I am comparing what I see with quotes posted in the Wall Street Journal.

looks like bad ticks from the exchange to me. This is one of the things that will be reduced when we have the tick correction implementation live in the servers.

When will the tick correction implementation be live? If not a scheduled date, would it be hours, days, weeks, or months?

How do other quote services handle this - or is inaccuracy accepted?

We are currently in the development phase of tick correction. We expect it to be released by end of first quarter.
Other Quote services have varying degrees and approaches to Tick correction, but most do have it.
