The ticks should be in chronological order for the same symbol. Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed Implementation Support Specialist

DTN_Gary_Stephen -DTN Guru- Posts: 396 Joined: Jul 3, 2019	Posted: Aug 22, 2023 01:54 PM Msg. 8 of 8 If you need an urgent answer to anything, your best option is to go through the IQFeed API support email or chat. Either will create a support case that is tracked. Monitoring of the forums is more sporadic and informal, though a site refresh is in progress. As for your original question: ticks for the same symbol shouldn't be out of order like your example. However, we can't really research it now, because tick data is only held for 180 days. (The original tick was on February 2; your original post was on July 31, which was exactly 180 days later.) Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed Implementation Support Specialist
