For the benefit of everyone and for those who want to fully enjoy the true speed of IQFeed without too much compromise, IQFeed.CSharpApiClient is now offering support for Python in most cases. I received a lot of comments how the client is superior in term of performance compared to existing Python implementation.

Have a look and feel free to reply for any concerns.

Hi Mathieu,

I am using following code for intervalDays, the data show only of historical data upto Timestamp: 8/17/2020 5:16:10 AM. I don't know why? I am using free trial to see how data is working. How can I get the latest 3000 of candles rather than that stopping at 5AM. What is the 5, and 10 in the Interval Days syntax.


And how can I get 500 ticks of Get Historical Interval too?

 ticks = lookupClient.Historical.GetHistoryIntervalDays("@NQ#", 5, 10, 3000)
 

Be aware that trial accounts are limited to 4 days of history. Any data requested beyond that will be ignored.

Also, all accounts are limited to 8 days of tick history during trading hours.

From what I can tell from the code, 5, 10, 3000 are Interval, Days, and MaxDataPoints respectively. This would be the same as the command. So you're requesting more history than you currently can view (10 days compared to 4).

Hi Math, How can I use tick data set to call 500 ticks for HID with your API.

example:

HID,symbol,500,MaxDays,MaxDataPOINTS,,,,REQUESTID,,t
