"I just wanted to let you know how fast and easy I found it to integrate IQFeed into our existing Java code using your JNI client. In my experience, such things almost never go so smoothly - great job!" - Comment from Nate

"I was with ******* for 4 years at $230 a month, this is a huge savings for me, GOD BLESS YOU PEOPLE," - Comment from T.S. via Email

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

"Thanks for following up with me. You guys do a great job in tech support." - Comment from Phelps

"You have an excellent product !!!!!!" - Comment from Arely

"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

"I have been using IQFeed now for a few years in MultiCharts and I have zero complaints. Very, very rare to have any data hiccups or anything at all go wrong." - Comment from Public Forum

"I would just like to say that IQFeed version 4 is running very well and I am very happy with its performance. I would also like to extend a big thanks for the fast and efficient help that I always receive. My questions and concerns are always addressed promptly. Way to go!" - Comment from Josh in CO.

"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email

Author	Topic: problems with streaming option data these days (8 messages, Page 1 of 1)

I am able to get both futures and equity options data currently. What symbols are you watching? When you say "started delayed", what exactly do you mean? Did the delay field actually indicate a delay or did they just seemed to be delivered late or did they open late? Did the delay go away eventually?
andrejk -Interested User- Posts: 8 Joined: May 7, 2007	Posted: Jun 7, 2007 10:55 AM Msg. 3 of 8 I mean the delivering (the beginning of the streaming) of option data is delayed - yesterday around 60 minutes. today I needed a second request of symbols. now they are being delivered correctly. once they stream everything is fine. I never had this delay with stock-symbols. when I request symbols for streaming, I devide my set of symbols in parts of 50 and let some seconds lapse between these parts. option-symbols and stock-symbols are mixed in each part. so far I never had problems with this. but meanwhile I have observed on several occasions that the streaming of option-data starts delayed (or not at all) while the streaming of stock-data is always correct. do you see any problems with my procedure ? thanks.

I am showing that quite of few of these simply didnt trade immediately at open. When you started receiving quotes, was the timestamp in the messages indicating the time the quotes were received?

I know. this is normal behaviour of options. but it is unlikely that none of these are being traded after more than 60 minutes. moreover, should there not be a summary message at least ? unfortunately all this is not reproducible at every time. sometimes it happens, sometimes not. any advice how to tackle with this ? I will check the timestamps in a next run (I do not record realtime data - only realtime analysis) regards, Andrej
DTN_Steve_S -DTN Guru- Posts: 2093 Joined: Nov 21, 2005	Posted: Jun 7, 2007 01:20 PM Msg. 8 of 8 There are a couple of the symbols in your list that hadn't traded within 60mins of market open (one of them hasn't traded at all in the past couple days). But yes, most of them did trade within 60mins of open and about 50% of them within 5mins of market open. As a general rule, you will only receive a Summary message when you initially watch a symbol. Are you saying that you never even receive that summary message? If that is the case, then the symbol is probably not actually getting watched. Do you track how many symbols your application is currently watching within your app? If so, perhaps issuing a stats request to IQFeed would be able to verify that IQConnect has registered all of the symbols you are expecting to be watching. I'm not sure that this is the problem but it might give us some clues.
