"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
"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

"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

From a previous reply to a posting I made a few months back, I understand that the information in a summary message is not stored on the IQFeed servers and that the summary messages are just "snapshots" of what's on the IQFeed servers. Therefore, any extended trading information is just "pass through" when trade updates come along during pre-market or after hours because it's not stored on the servers.

Given this, if I want to cycle through, say 2000 symbols, after the post-market trading ends at 6:30pm EST, watching and then unwatching each of these symbols to generate a summary message for each one, will the "last" field after 6:30pm EST reflect the most recent price for after hours trading (if any after hours trading occurred)?

For pre-market conditions the next day, I don't think I can "cycle" through all 2000 symbols to generate summary messages as the only indication of pre-market trades would be through a trade update. Is that correct?
