"Thank you so much - awesome feed, awesome service!" - Comment from Greg via Email

"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom

"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

"I used to have *******, but they are way more money for the same thing. I have had no probs with data from DTN since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"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 never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

"I started a trial a few weeks back before the market went wild. DTN.IQ didn’t miss anything and beat my other provider. I decided to stay with you because of the great service through all the volatility." - Comment from Mike

"This beats the pants off CQG, I am definitely switching to the ProphetX 3.0!" - Comment from Stephen

Author	Topic: Availability Of Same Day Tick Data. (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
Craig -DTN Guru- Posts: 326 Joined: Apr 16, 2010	Posted: Dec 4, 2017 04:33 PM Msg. 1 of 4 At what point is it OK to download the current days tick data? I have in my head that it is 16:45 EST? But I can't find this anywhere on your site. Also, when is it possible to download the same days tick data for the ES?

Some, like Forex trade on through to midnight, equities trade until 8pm, commodities are all over the place for end times. And if you wait too long, then you get ticks that are part of the next trading day. Additionally, with commodities, settles are sent outside of market hours, so if you want to get that message you need to allow time for that. So it really is going to take a little research for each to determine. In the case of @ES, per the CME website, market hours are 6pm to 5pm EST. And the settle is delivered midday, so anytime after that 5 o'clock time frame should be fine I would think. Tim

If you just wanted regular trades you could do your request at anytime after 4:00, but you would want to filter any trades not of type C from your returns.
