"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

"Interactive Brokers tick data was inconsistent, so I have switched to using DTN exclusively. It is great to no longer have to worry about my datafeed all day long." - Comment from Philippe

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

"DTN feed was the only feed that consistently matched Bloomberg feed for BID/ASK data verification work these past years......DTN feed is a must for my supply & demand based trading using Cumulative Delta" - Comment from Public Forum Post

I'm not finding an API account based on the information on your forum account. Are you an API customer? If not, then the amount of historical data you can retrieve (up to the total data amount available on our servers) is dependent on the software you are using to pull data from the feed. If you let us know what software you are using, someone in our support department might be able to help you configure the software.

It will back fill the chart as far back as we have data or as far back as the charting software allows. Here is a quick break down of what we have available for historical data. 120 calendar days of tick (includes pre-post market) and several years of 1-Minute history (Forex back to Feb 2005, Eminis back to Sept. 2005, Stock/Futures/Indexes back to May 2007) retrieval for charting and time & sales data Daily, Weekly and Monthly Historical data (15+ years of O,H,L,C,V,OI data) If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us directly at 800-397-7000 in the USA or if you go to our web site www.IQFeed.net there is a link to our live chat.

254029 -Interested User- Posts: 2 Joined: Apr 27, 2011	Posted: Apr 27, 2011 01:22 PM Msg. 6 of 7 Excuse my dumb question, Stan, but how do I "request a chart & back fill"? So far all I have is the client ddl and spreadsheet. Do I have to have API subscription first, or can I try out some other way before making the investment? One key piece of historical info I'm looking for is the volume. This tends to be very unreliable from feed to feed, which is why I'd like to get a decent size sample first. What I'm looking for is the "cumulative volume" field in the official SIAC L1 feed, and in 1-min bars as the first step. Do you keep this piece of info or is the volume what you compute based on your own trade size info? Again, thanks in advance!

Your sales rep can set you up with a trial of the DTN IQ if you like, or provide info on our API. If you want to look into 1 of the 3rd party charting services, please use this link to our web site for a list of the softwares. http://www.iqfeed.net/index.cfm?displayaction=data§ion=software#products Stan S What we do today, determines how people remember us forever.
