"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

"You are either overstaffed or people just don't have problems with your feed because customer support always answers the phone quickly." - Comment from Jay via Email

"And by the way, have to say this. I love the IQFeed software. It's rock solid and it has a really nice API." - Comment from Thomas via RT Chat

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

"I "bracket trade" all major news releases and I have not found one lag or glitch with DTN.IQ feed. I am very comfortable with their feed under all typical news conditions (Fed releases, employment numbers, etc)." - Comment from Public Forum

"I've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from 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

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

"I like you guys better than *******...much more stable and a whole lot fewer issues." - Comment from Philip

Author	Topic: Odd data in Historical 1 sec OHLCV vs tick data (5 messages, Page 1 of 1)
ChainsawDR -Interested User- Posts: 29 Joined: Jan 4, 2019	Posted: Apr 12, 2020 06:22 PM Msg. 1 of 5 Hi, I'm retrieving the historical 1 second OHLCV data for backtesting, however I'm seeing some odd spikes in the data that I don't see when I use the 'IQFeed Time & Sales' application to view tick and/or 1min data. It's causing me to doubt whether I should pull/use the historical 1 sec OHLCV or whether I need to start pulling tick data and compiling this myself. I've attached an image that puts the 1sec vs tick vs 1min side by side and have highlighted the 85.39 1sec OHLCV that I can't reconcile with the tick or 1min data. Please could anyone let me know if I am misinterpreting this? Thanks in advance for any help Edited by ChainsawDR on Apr 12, 2020 at 06:22 PM File Attached: BBY.png (downloaded 961 times)

Higlighted in yellow is a drop from $86 close price to $85.65, then back to $86. Neither the tick or 1min data from 'Time & Sales' shows any drop down to $85.65. My system triggered a signal on this 1 sec OHLCV data that wouldn't be triggered with the other iqfeed dataset. Unsure of the reason for the discrepancy, or wondering if I have a bug in my data retrieval of 1 sec OHLCV data. File Attached: BBY2.png (downloaded 1072 times)

To turn on Extended trades, you will need to go into the T&S Settings, and under the General tab, check the box for "Enable Extended Trades."
