Hi,

Is it possible to create a BW on the same symbol for multiple intervals?
e.g. I want to want 1sec, 5sec and 30sec bars

If yes, how can you determine which bar message belongs to which internal?
if not, what would be a best way to watch multiple time frames without doing calculation of higher bars in code?

Would multiple socket connections per timeframe work?

You can specify a unique RequestID (8th parameter after the BW) for each separate BW request (for example: IBM-1s, IBM-5s, IBM-30s). This will be reported at the beginning of each incoming message from IQFeed. You could parse the incoming RequestID and use the parsed components in your code logic.

Note: setting multiple overlapping BW requests per symbol is sub-optimal and will likely inundate your program with multiple duplicate messages. I think that it would be better to only request 1sec BW intervals, and to aggregate the bars in your program logic. This would probably be more efficient than to separately process multiple duplicate interval messages.
