"I just wanted to say how happy I am with your service. I was able to download the API docs last week and I was able to replicate Interactive Brokers historical bar queries and realtime bar queries over the weekend. That was about one of the fastest integrations that I've ever done and it works perfectly!!!!" - Comment from Jason via Email
"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom
"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

It would be great to have real-time intraday split-adjusted data for stocks, because when a stock splits, I need the charts to be split-adjusted so that my moving averages and indicators work properly.

Without real-time split-adjusted intraday data, I basically can't trade a stock that split until the old data eventually scrolls off the chart and a bit further because of indicator lookback.

I love DTN's futures data but sadly I'm going to have to switch to eSignal (they provide real-time split-adjusted intraday prices) unless you're willing to make the change.

Is there anyone else that needs this or am I the only one?

I can submit a customer request, but it wouldn't be an instant change.

Historical tick and minute data isn't split-adjusted; only daily data is. The SnapQuote app tells you the time/ratio (to two decimal places) of the most recent two changes.

For some indicators you want the split-adjusted prices, for others you want the historical prices and volumes exactly as transmitted on that day. There's no one-size-fits-all solution.

I like the current IQFeed approach, where I can get the tick data as-transmitted, plus the splits. I store both so I can construct split-adjusted data when I need it.

That said, it's often the case that splits are described incorrectly either as to date or as to ratio. This problem is not unique to IQFeed; you can observe it on practically any online source of split history. As a consequence I run a sanity-check on splits in my database every night. Things to watch for include multiple splits within a few days of one another, splits with implausibly large or small ratios, and split information that's delivered for the first time after the date of the split.

My split-adjustment code includes a table of known corrections that are applied automatically when split-adjusting. That table has to be maintained manually, though.

If anyone has a better solution, I'd love to hear about it!
