"I'm satisfied with IQFeed. It's the most reliable and fastest quote feed I have ever used. Although I'm a resident in China, it's still very fast!" - Comment from Xiaofei

"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

"I've never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.

"Can I get another account from you? I am tired of ******* going down so often" - Comment from George

"I am enjoying the feed very much - so superior to the broker provided feed I was previously using." - Comment from George

"I noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable." - Comment from Ron in Utah

"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom

"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

"Thank you so much - awesome feed, awesome service!" - Comment from Greg via Email

"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

Author	Topic: Live tick data is different from historical tick data (live reporting more ticks) (2 messages, Page 1 of 1)
bludev -Interested User- Posts: 16 Joined: Nov 14, 2012	Posted: Sep 19, 2017 01:04 AM Msg. 1 of 2 We found that some live tick data are different from historical tick data. Live reporting more ticks than historical. These differences occur quite often throughout the day (thousands of ticks different). Both live and historical use the same IQFeed on the same machine.

Do you have a developer account with us? If so, I would suggest reaching out to us at the email given on this page, (you must be logged into your developer account for it to work) http://www.iqfeed.net/dev/support.cfm, and we can dive in to what options exist within our API.
