We provide the data, and if a stock gapped up at the open, the chart should reflect the gap between the data you have for the previous days close. Please clarify what you are looking for and I will try to better answer if it is something we can provide. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.

What symbol and interval are you looking at? If the stock gapped, I am not sure how a gap wouldn't be shown on the chart. A gap is a change between yesterdays close and todays open. if you have both points showing on a chart you don't have a choice but to show a gap. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.

However ,on QT charts it is shows as a continious line from a privious close to a Gap Open . the space in between is not ever shown. look at RRC,NE,ESV on todays by using QT charts , on 2 min bras to 30 min bars I use thierd party soft.

I am not saying you don't know what a gap is, what I am saying is we provide data on all the trades. Thus, if there is a gap in the trades, I am not sure how else it could be displayed unless there is a setting in QT that is tying the ticks together so you can see it. Since I have never heard of this before, and many traders look at open gaps, it leads me to believe it is just a setting somewhere in QT. Did they tell you what we are supposedely not providing that would cause gaps to not show? Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.

I believe The reason is: If the datafeed uses system time, as may be the case with IQFeed , Than when I open QT premarket, QT would get a quote premarket that would still be priced at prev close, but would be considered a quote for this morning. That screws up the gaps. Nothing QT can do about that. I use thierd party soft.

Please make a study about the metter ... with all QT users. it might be they are not aware of the " missing "gaps on thier charts . to your request ;I use candelstick charts I use thierd party soft.

We provide Pre-Market data in a separate field called ET Last. We don't store that in our tick or minute files, so it is only available if you have the chart open during pre-market and display it as it is streaming in. We do have plans to start storing the pre-market trades, but I don't have an ETA for availability. At least we were able to get to the bottom of what you were asking for...

It was my Explanation ,why I believe the missing gaps appers on QT. I would appriciate , if you contact QT directely and talk with Jerry Medved . I did called IQFeed tech. support many times. a few of the tecnicians are aware about the matter. I just would like to know when it would be corrected. Thanks I use thierd party soft.

Not really an IQFeed problem, nor is it a QT problem, rather how they work together. When we get second resolution in the feed, it should resolve the problem. it doesn't sound like there is a workaround available currently. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.
