"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim
"I would just like to say that IQFeed version 4 is running very well and I am very happy with its performance.

"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
"Everything is working great ! Very impressive client. The news refreshes better and is more pertinent than the ******* feed I paid $ 100/month for. I Also like the charts a lot." - Comment from Leon

"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

IQFeed Developer Support » LimitEntry vs OpenLimit order Jul 3, 2016 03:48 PM (Total replies: 0)

I read the chm and I still don't understand the difference between OpenLimit and LimitEntry.

OpenLimit documentation:
An open order opens a position at the specified market rate or at a more favorable rate in case such rate is available on the market.

LimitEntry documentation:
A limit entry order with a buy direction is filled when the market is below the rate specified in the order.

So, if I want to open a buy position (for example) then what would be the difference ?

IQFeed Developer Support » Corrupted data ? May 17, 2016 10:58 PM (Total replies: 0)

On 18th May 2016 I have downloaded ticks for ADSK (via "HTT")

One of the data reply strings was :
"000,212.5500,212.8000,212.5500,196593,900,0,"

What does 000 stand for ?

IQFeed Developer Support » HTT can supply up to one week only of tick data? Mar 14, 2016 03:28 PM (Total replies: 1)

I am sending this command :
"HTT,MSI,20151231 093000,20160311 160000,,093000,160000,1"

The earliest tick is
"2016-03-07 09:30:00.458727,70.6700,10765,10766,70.3500,71.0500,3096,C,7,8A,"

So am I limited for only one week worth of historical ticks ?

IQFeed Developer Support » Missing minute candles for PFPT on 9th March 2016 Mar 12, 2016 07:48 AM (Total replies: 5)

I downloaded minute candles for PFPT for 3/9/2016 , and I see some candles are missing, such as:
13:02
14:23
14:33

Maybe some other minute candles are missing....

Please explain

IQFeed Developer Support » Question about HIT returned data (interval candles) Mar 5, 2016 06:44 AM (Total replies: 1)

When i run this query:
"HIT,NE,60,20160226 093000,20160226 160000,,093000,160000,1,,,s"

I get this data:
2016-02-26 09:31:00,7.7800,7.6600,7.6900,7.6600,44984,44160,0,
2016-02-26 09:32:00,7.7400,7.6900,7.7001,7.7100,58814,13764,0,

2016-02-26 16:00:00,8.2100,8.2000,8.2000,8.2100,7601346,57892,0,
2016-02-26 16:01:00,8.2000,8.2000,8.2000,8.2000,7883616,282270,0,

My question:
Why am I getting a 09:31:00 candle, and why am I getting a "16:01:00" candle?
So which seconds does the 09:31:00 candle represents ? is it actually an aggregation of all the seconds between and including 09:30:00 and 09:30:59 ?
