		Hello
 I would like to know the exact semantics of timestamp fields in the HIT request and its response.
 
 Namely, this scenario looks strange to me:
 ------------------------------------------------
 $ telnet localhost 9100
 >HIT,MSFT,60,20090224 200100,20090224 200100
 <2009-02-24 20:02:00,16.7000,16.7000,16.7000,16.7000,122673954,5600,
 ------------------------------------------------
 
 Asking for data between 20:01:00 and 20:01:00 returns historical data for 20:02:00?
 
 Thank You

		I have discussed this with the server team and we have come to the conclusion that this is working as intended.
 This is essentially a side effect of how IQFeed labels interval data.
 
 The datapoint returned above (labeled 20:02:00) represents the trades that occured between 20:01:00 and 20:01:59.
 
 The request is for data including 20:01:00 so the datapoint returned fits in the timeframe requested.

 The request
 HIT,MSFT,60,20090224 200100,20090224 200100
 does not refer to the interval [20:01:00, 20:01:59], it actually refers to an empty interval [20:01:00, 20:01:00). Or at least that's how I understand the semantics.
