"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

"My broker in Davenport suggested I give you a try as he uses your service and says its the best." - Comment from Bill via RT Chat

"IQ feed works very well, does not have all of the normal interruptions I have grown used to on *******" - Comment from Mark

"I had always used ******* but for the past 2 weeks have been trying DTN IQFeed. Customer support has been extraordinary. They call just to make sure your problem hasn't recurred." - Comment from Public Forum

"You have an excellent feed. Very few spikes for Spot Forex." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"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 have to tell you though that using the IQFeed API is about the easiest and cleanest I have seen for some time." - Comment from Jim

"Thanks for all of your help. Great customer service deserves to be recognized which one the reasons I've been a customer of DTN for over 10 years!" - Comment from Stuart

"I'm very glad I switched to IQFeed. It's working perfectly with no lag, even during fast market conditions." - Comment from Andy via Email

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

Author	Topic: Difference between Trade update vs Extended Trade? (3 messages, Page 1 of 1)
senator -Interested User- Posts: 22 Joined: Jul 5, 2004	Posted: Jul 5, 2004 09:55 PM Msg. 1 of 3 I have no way to know if the transactions I recieved are being duplicated? Do Iqfeed assigns an id number to each tick? Since yuo do not give the seconds at which the transaction took place its harder to identify if some trades are being duplicated! The HH represents the hour of the day in a 24 hour clock. MM represents the minutes of the hour. The character represented by c indicates one of the following: t - A trade update occured T - Extended Trade. b - A bid update occured (an ask update may also have occured) a - A ask update occured o - Some other type of update occured In a simplistic example of two trades could you please explain the difference between a Trade update scenario and one with a Extended Trade?

An Extended Trade is commonly referred to as a Form T Trade. These trades generally occur outside market hours, but also infrequently occur during market hours. Natalie Hannan DTN Market Access, LLC.
