"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

"Just a thank you for the very helpful and prompt assistance and services. You provided me with noticeably superior service in my setup compared to a couple of other options I had looked at." - Comment from John

"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 cannot believe what a difference it makes trading with ProphetX!" - Comment from Bruce in Los Angeles

The ticks should be in chronological order for the same symbol. Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed Implementation Support Specialist

DTN_Gary_Stephen -DTN Guru- Posts: 396 Joined: Jul 3, 2019	Posted: Aug 22, 2023 01:54 PM Msg. 8 of 8 If you need an urgent answer to anything, your best option is to go through the IQFeed API support email or chat. Either will create a support case that is tracked. Monitoring of the forums is more sporadic and informal, though a site refresh is in progress. As for your original question: ticks for the same symbol shouldn't be out of order like your example. However, we can't really research it now, because tick data is only held for 180 days. (The original tick was on February 2; your original post was on July 31, which was exactly 180 days later.) Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed Implementation Support Specialist
