"I just wanted to say how happy I am with your service. I was able to download the API docs last week and I was able to replicate Interactive Brokers historical bar queries and realtime bar queries over the weekend. That was about one of the fastest integrations that I've ever done and it works perfectly!!!!" - Comment from Jason via Email

I am accessing the DTN IQfeed through a Socket.

I am looking for the recommended way to get the previous day's closing price that is used to calculate the Change and Percent Change values.

I have been looking at the Fundamental Messages and Update/Summery Messages and Level1 Messages but I don't see anything called previous close.

Thanks
Patrick

The Close field in Update/Summary messages is actually the previous day close and is used to calculate change and %change.
