"IQ feed is brilliant. The support is mind-bending. What service!" - Comment from Public Forum Post
"I just wanted to say how happy I am with your service. I was able to download the API docs last week and I was able to replicate Interactive Brokers historical bar queries and realtime bar queries over the weekend. That was about one of the fastest integrations that I've ever done and it works perfectly!!!!" - Comment from Jason via Email
"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
"If someone needs the best quality data and backfill beyond what their broker provides at a rate that is the best in the industry, I highly recommend IQFeed." - Comment from Josh via 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

Data and Content Support » IQ Feed- Can't Backfill the March Globex Currencies Dec 15, 2004 01:20 PM (Total replies: 5)

I have the correct IQ Feed symbols, indeed I was using them successfully in the june contract series. However when I replace the "M4" with an "H5" I cannot get IQFeed to backfill.

As I said in my posting I am using these symbols, which come from your symbol guide:
See, from above:

"I get Globex:@6JH5 just fine

AND-
I get Globex:@6SZ4
I get Globex:@6EZ4
I get Globex:@6BZ4

BUT-
I do not get Globex:@6SH5
I do not get Globex:@6EH5
I do not get Globex:@6BH5"

An incorrect symbol does not seem to be my problem.

Data and Content Support » IQ Feed- Can't Backfill the March Globex Currencies Dec 15, 2004 12:40 PM (Total replies: 5)

Hello-

I have been using QT with IQFeed for backfilling with IB as my
real time feed. And all has been going fine.

But since last Friday I have been trying without luck in getting the IQFeed to
backfill the march globex currencies (But strangely, the globex march JY backfills
just fine). I can backfill the graphs for the upcoming March contracts,
but not most currencies, for which I just get no "raw data"

I tried clearing all the data, and then right clicking on the H5 symbol and
Backfilling the regular way and also using QT's "Backfill As" option and using the
@..H5 symbol.

Summary:
I get Globex:@6JH5 just fine

AND-
I get Globex:@6SZ4
I get Globex:@6EZ4
I get Globex:@6BZ4

BUT-
I do not get Globex:@6SH5
I do not get Globex:@6EH5
I do not get Globex:@6BH5

But I see that the IQFeed is getting through to me because when I put in a symbol
that I had never used before [TYH5] it backfilled just fine. It is just those March
currency symbols, other than the JYH5


Very strange- any ideas?

Thank you.
Patrick
