"I just wanted to let you know how fast and easy I found it to integrate IQFeed into our existing Java code using your JNI client. In my experience, such things almost never go so smoothly - great job!" - Comment from Nate

"I was on the phone with a friend who uses CQG and right after the Fed announcement, CQG was as much as 30 seconds behind DTN.IQ. Some quotes were off by as much as 15-18 cents. Your feed never missed a beat." - Comment from Roger

"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

"I am very pleased with the DTNIQ system for quotes and news." - Comment from Larry

"I have been using IQFeed now for a few years in MultiCharts and I have zero complaints. Very, very rare to have any data hiccups or anything at all go wrong." - Comment from Public Forum

"As a past ******* customer(and not a happy one), IQ Feed by DTN is a much better and cheaper product with great customer support. I have had no problems at all since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum

Probably I'm misunderstanding something. Edited by oxford on Feb 4, 2014 at 08:36 AM

Right now, the data specifications sheets available on the exchange websites would be the best source for this data. We'll be sure to let everyone know if we can get this added in a future release.

I'm trying to get the OHLC for the day only (so smaller interval). Using ReqHistoryDailyTimeframe I'm not able to receive the current day (last day = previous day). Many thanks again.

The watch will return a comma delimited field set that you can iterate through to get the data you need. Current fields being viewed can be requested to help with the order, or you can choose your own by setting up a dynamic fieldset, whichever you prefer. Once you have the data you want, you can unwatch your symbol. Or you can continue to watch and process the update messages. This functionality is also in the level one sample applications which are part of the API download if you want to see an actual implementation of how this can be done. Tim
