"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

IQFeed Developer Support » MaxDatapoints in historical tick queries Feb 28, 2018 06:17 PM (Total replies: 2)

So if I'm understanding this correctly, it selects (up to) MaxDatapoints results, and then filters. Is there a way to query a specific number of C trades?

IQFeed Developer Support » MaxDatapoints in historical tick queries Feb 28, 2018 05:37 PM (Total replies: 2)

In testing out some of the tick queries, I get far fewer than the MaxDatapoints I specify. For a random day of Google:

HTD,GOOG,1,1
!ENDMSG!,

HTD,GOOG,1,10
!ENDMSG!,

HTD,GOOG,1,20
2018-02-28 17:30:44,1105.81,100,1874094,1105.04,1109.35,15821,0,0,E,

!ENDMSG!,

(same two results for 50 and 100)

HTD,GOOG,1,200

I get this same behavior when using HTT, querying from 000000 to 235959 within a prior day.

Our assumption was that a MaxDatapoints setting of 1 would be an easy way to indicate if any trades happened during that time period, but it seems to be very unreliable and often returns 0 results even when many ticks occurred during the queried time period.

Any suggestions?
