IQFeed API Questions » great Jul 26, 2024 02:19 PM (Total replies: 3)

"Unauthorized user ID" means "you have not subscribed to this exchange."

This is an equity option, so you would need to have both the "IQFeed RT US Futures and Futures Options" add-on and an OPRA data subscription.

Also, if you're looking for tick data during trading hours, this symbol will return none because it was last traded in April. Only the last 8 days of tick data are available during trading hours. Outside of trading hours, tick history is kept for 180 days.

IQFeed API Questions » option naming Jun 11, 2024 09:21 AM (Total replies: 5)

In IQFeed, symbols are unique throughout the entire universe. If two different exchanges use the same symbol to represent different things, then DTN distinguishes them somehow. For example, L. indicates an equity on the London Stock Exchange, as opposed to a NASDAQ or NYSE symbol. This is why symbols can vary from what the exchange uses.

But option symbols are long, character-heavy, and a required to follow a pattern. So there's rarely any need to deviate from what the exchange assigns, except for the base part of the symbol that tells you what commodity it's for.

For example: what CME group calls NQM4 https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/equities/nasdaq/e-mini-nasdaq-100.quotes.options.html#optionProductId=148&expiration=2024-5-NQM4-52024 we call @NQBM24. E-mini NASDAQ 100 monthly options will follow this pattern of root symbol + month code + two-digit year.

If you want a complete list of all (current) CME option symbols, you can send the command FDS,9,34,20240610 to port 9100. This will return a list of records like:

LM,L0CM24C10000-,"LIVE CATTLE CSO 3RD JUNE 2024 CALL -10000",,,,,,,,,,,3,13,,,,110,,"@LEM24",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,20240607,,,,,,

From which you can see the symbol, the long name, and the root symbol @LEM24.

Do you mean like SPX or VIX? Those are considered indexes, not stocks. You would need to add the CBOE Indexes product.

IQFeed offers both Level 1 and Level 2 data. Level 1 data includes the Bid and Ask price for each tick, which is NBBO and also tells you which market maker provided the bid/ask prices. Level 2 data will send you a record for every bid/ask offer, and you can keep your own book if you want to.

Data Questions » Can I use IQFeed equity options data in Sierra Charts? May 10, 2024 11:44 AM (Total replies: 3)

ACSIL charts is a feature of Sierra Charts, so that question would be better answered by Sierra Charts support.

From our perspective: once the IQFeed data is flowing to Sierra Charts as per https://iqhelp.dtn.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2020/09/SierraChart-IQ_51619.pdf (which you said it already was), then there's no reason IQFeed data *couldn't* support this feature of Sierra Charts, provided it has all the data points the feature needs. Again, Sierra Charts would have to confirm that, because we don't know exactly what data points it uses.

Depending on what exchange you're trying to add, it may need to be done manually for the time being anyway. We are aware of technical issues with the new payment portal.

New IQFeed Forum » FLT Symbol Change to CPY is wrong Mar 27, 2024 08:09 AM (Total replies: 3)

We will investigate and I will post a follow-up here.

ADDED: According to https://investor.corpay.com/ the symbol is CPAY, not CPY. It looks like it's currently in IQFeed as both symbols; CPAY is the correct symbol but doesn't include the history from when it was FLT. I have asked that we merge/correct them into CPAY.

New IQFeed Forum » iqconnect Out of Memory Feb 23, 2024 04:29 PM (Total replies: 6)

It is always advisable to keep the number of connection to a minimum, and keep them open rather than frequently closing/reopening. IQFeed will allow you to collect to make multiple connections to the same socket from the same machine, and this has its uses. (Making 2/4 connections, and dividing the workload among them, can help overall speed in handling a large number of symbols.) But having a very large number of connections, or frequently disconnecting and reconnecting, are counterproductive and may contribute to this kind of situation happening.
