Msg. 1 of 4
when I ran a level 2 request for MSFT outside regular trading hours, I got the following data row among others: <= 20190502 04:18:38.700 (Level2) Z,MSFT,BATS,0.,129.39,0,600,18:29:49.000347,2019-05-01,52,99:99:99.000000,F,T,T According to the documentation ( http://www.iqfeed.net/dev/api/docs/Level2UpdateSummaryMessage.cfm), this row translates as follows: Symbol: MSFT MMID: BATS Bid: 0 Ask: 129.39 BidSize: 0 AskSize: 600 BidTime: 18:29:49.000347 Date: 2019-05-01 Condition: 52 (regular) AskTime: 99:99:99.000000 BidInfoValid: False AskInfoValid: True EndOfMessage: True The reported BidTime and AskTime make no sense - it is the Bid which is invalid (and should have the invalid time of 99:99:99), and the Ask which is valid (and should have the valid time of 18:29:49). Is this a bug in IQFeed's code? If I'm correct, perhaps it would be simpler to fix the documentation than to fix the code - switching between BidTime/AskTime in the documentation will seem a bit awkward (because Bid is often reported before Ask), but at least it would be consistent with your current code and would not require you to do any code fixes.

My apologies for the delayed response here. You've decoded the message correctly. It would appear that this is a bug in the feed but I don't know how or why it occurred at this time. If you have more examples, it will help in tracking this down, but I don't believe this is a case of simply applying the valid time to the wrong field.

Thanks Steve - here is another example that I have just seen, this time for the FB symbol: <= 20190515 07:01:01.237 (Level2) Z,FB,CHXE,0.,180.71,0,100,07:00:17.012566,2019-05-15,52,99:99:99.000000,F,T,T In this new example, the Bid is invalid and the Ask is valid, yet the timestamps appear switched. As far as I could tell, this problem is evident whenever one Bid/Ask is valid and the other is not. But it is quite possible that the problem of switched BidTime<->AskTime is consistent even when both Bid and Ask are valid, and nobody has reported it so far because it would be nearly impossible to detect except in the specific case of just one of them being invalid.
