"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

Author	Topic: Bad historical data on 2016-09-26 (3 messages, Page 1 of 1)
eporter -Interested User- Posts: 14 Joined: Jan 20, 2015	Posted: Sep 30, 2016 03:47 AM Msg. 1 of 3 I'm seeing problems with historical data for the day of 2016-09-26. Specifically, the volume and number of trades are both several times as large as they should be (though the price is little changed). The comparison data that I am using is what I collected on the day of 2016-09-26 through our subscription. It appears that a large number of extra ticks have simply been added to many stocks. Because the prices are reasonable, I'm wondering whether they are from a different source (such as dark pools). This isn't a huge problem for us right now. I'm simply ignoring historical data from 2016-09-26. However, it is obviously disconcerting, and my primary concern is avoiding future instances of this problem. Anyway, here's an example of the sort of difference that I'm seeing for CSBR on 2016-09-26. For what it's worth, Yahoo agrees with the volume of the existing ticks we originally received through our subscription on 2016-09-26. See https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=CSBR We've seen hundreds of other, similar examples. ----------------------------------------------- Existing total: 2740 @ 1.6723 from 5 trades Received total: 19459 @ 1.6861 from 33 trades.

Is this something that has already fixed itself? Tim
