"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

"You are either overstaffed or people just don't have problems with your feed because customer support always answers the phone quickly." - Comment from Jay via Email

"And by the way, have to say this. I love the IQFeed software. It's rock solid and it has a really nice API." - Comment from Thomas via RT Chat

"I noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable." - Comment from Ron in Utah

"I "bracket trade" all major news releases and I have not found one lag or glitch with DTN.IQ feed. I am very comfortable with their feed under all typical news conditions (Fed releases, employment numbers, etc)." - Comment from Public Forum

"I've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from Public Forum

"I started a trial a few weeks back before the market went wild. DTN.IQ didn’t miss anything and beat my other provider. I decided to stay with you because of the great service through all the volatility." - Comment from Mike

"I am enjoying the feed very much - so superior to the broker provided feed I was previously using." - Comment from George

"I like you guys better than *******...much more stable and a whole lot fewer issues." - Comment from Philip

"I just wanted to let u know that your data feed/service is by far the best!!! Your unfiltered tick data is excellent for reading order flow and none of your competitors delivers this quality of data!" - Comment from Peter via Email

arturo didonna -Interested User- Posts: 22 Joined: Oct 10, 2008	Posted: Jan 10, 2017 06:45 AM Msg. 1 of 5 I was looking at times&sales data for the option DIS1716F120. I noticed a jump in the TotVol column with no activity in the LastSize column. Is there any way to recover such missing data?

I am using Qcollector in combination with my iqfeed subscription.. Could you please detail a little bit more what I should do to recover these missing data? Thanks in advance.

On this instrument the bid price is bigger than the ask price!

It may not be possible, depending on their implementation, but you would need to contact them to be sure. Bids and asks come down a different feed from the exchange then the trades do, so while it is unusual, there are times where they get out of sync. We do not save historical bid and ask data so I do not have a way to go back and find out what the bid and ask were prior to this specific trade. Tim
