"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

"I've been using IQFeed 4 in a multi-threaded situation for the last week or two on 2600 symbols or so with 100 simultaneous daily charts, and I have had 100% responsiveness." - Comment from Scott

"I was with ******* for 4 years at $230 a month, this is a huge savings for me, GOD BLESS YOU PEOPLE," - Comment from T.S. via Email

"Everything is working amazing now. I'm already impressed with the true-tick feed of IQFeed and it's ability to support my 480 symbol layout." - Comment from Tyler via Email

"IQ feed is brilliant. The support is mind-bending. What service!" - Comment from Public Forum Post

"If someone needs the best quality data and backfill beyond what their broker provides at a rate that is the best in the industry, I highly recommend IQFeed." - Comment from Josh via Public Forum

"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

"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

"Version 4.0.0.2 has been working well for me and I appreciate that it is now a much tighter client to work with. I feel I can go to press with my own application and rely on a stable platform" - Comment from David in IA.

"My broker in Davenport suggested I give you a try as he uses your service and says its the best." - Comment from Bill via RT Chat

karthikkrishnan -Interested User- Posts: 22 Joined: Nov 4, 2015	Posted: Feb 27, 2021 05:01 PM Msg. 1 of 6 Does historical tick data include a way to be able to tell if there was a bid/ask update without any trade happening. I see a relevant discussion in http://forums.iqfeed.net/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=5722 Specifically, I am trying to assemble a data set that includes trade data as well as NBBO (not looking for depth). Is this possible in historical data ?

We do not store historical bid/ask data on Quotes. We only store bid/ask data historically on the trade. Please keep in mind you can capture streaming bid/ask quotes in real time as they happen for later review.

karthikkrishnan -Interested User- Posts: 22 Joined: Nov 4, 2015	Posted: Mar 1, 2021 12:16 PM Msg. 3 of 6 Ok. Thanks. One follow up question specific to how historical data is constructed. When you say "bid/ask data historically on the trade, does the data arrive as-is from the exchange or is it constructed by you at the time of trade from quote data. For example, say historical data has a data point timestamp = 09:30:00.043403 last_price = 241.25 bid = 241.21 ask = 241.3 Is it guaranteed that the bid/ask data here is not from the future ? I guess, I am trying to find if the timestamp corresponding to bid/ask quote is guaranteed to be on-or-before the trade tick

DTN_Stephen -DTN Guru- Posts: 453 Joined: Aug 22, 2014	Posted: Mar 1, 2021 02:46 PM Msg. 6 of 6 Concerning Equities the bid and ask come in a separate message from the BBO feed. IQ history is nothing more than what the best bid and ask from the BBO feed were at the time that the trade took place. I hope that answers your question.
