I understand the watchlist, I am just hoping to retrieve the expiration date for 04Dec Corn or 05 July Corn or whatever, I only need to retrieve the date one time and then I can do the calculations after that. I have no need to retreive it real-time as that is complete overkill for me. You must have the value stored somewhere, becuase you are using it to calculate days to expiration too. Do I have access to this table?
Thanks Mike -----Original Message----- From: IQFeed Developer Support [mailto:] Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2004 3:37 PM To: rebermp@hotmail.com Subject: Re: IQFeed NOTICE: IQFeed 2.3.0.1 is now available (Thread:342615) From looking at your code excerpt, it looks like you are trying to get historical data for a symbol. You cannot get the Days To Expiration data for history data. The Days To Expiration data is included for streaming data in the Update Message. I'm not sure how much you know about IQFeed, so I'll give you some basic info. Sorry if you already know this! At the start of your program, you need to call RegisterClientApp(), and connect to IQConnect. I can't tell from your code excerpt if you are doing this. If you're not, you can consult the help documenation for "Logging into IQFeed", and "Getting Streaming Data". After that is done, you are ready to request symbols, and receive streaming data on them. First, you must watch a symbol ("Manage a Watch List" in the help). Then, when a trade or a quote occurs for that symbol, you will receive an Update Message (begins with a "Q"). Field #49 in that message is the Days To Expiration field ("Update Message Format" in the help). As far as the symbol @TB{month][year], you can run the SymbolLookup test application, which is under the VC++ Examples directory in your install directory. Type in @TB, and you will receive symbols that you can choose from. Also, if you have specific issues with the help documentation, please let us know. We'd like to make it more clear where we can.

Mike,
Yes. Expiration date is a field in our datafeed. You just need to set a watch on the symbol and parse the fundamental record (which you get immediately) for the expiration date. The expiration date is not an included field when pulling historical data (it is only available in a fundamental or quote record). Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC. |
