"I was on the phone with a friend who uses CQG and right after the Fed announcement, CQG was as much as 30 seconds behind DTN.IQ. Some quotes were off by as much as 15-18 cents. Your feed never missed a beat." - Comment from Roger

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

"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email

"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

Author	Topic: How far back for minute & Second data for stocks (5 messages, Page 1 of 1)
cunparis -Interested User- Posts: 29 Joined: Jan 1, 2009	Posted: Mar 14, 2009 05:23 AM Msg. 1 of 5 I'm curious how far back minute & second data goes for stocks? Minute data for ES goes back to around oct 2005, but what about second data?
cunparis -Interested User- Posts: 29 Joined: Jan 1, 2009	Posted: Mar 14, 2009 09:48 AM Msg. 2 of 5 For example i find that some stocks don't have minute data. AXB is an example. Is there a reason why it wouldn't have minute data?

I just pulled minute data and it goes back to October 1 2008. Are you unable to retrieve minute data on other symbols as well? In general, this is what we are storing: 30 calendar days of tick (includes pre-post market) and several years of 1-Minute history (Forex back to Feb 2005, Eminis back to Sept. 2005, Stock/Futures/Indexes back to May 2007) retrieval for charting and time & sales data . We don't currently store second data intervals. The 30 days of tick data is only available during non regular market hours. During regular market hours, the tick data is limited to 8 calendar days.

If it only goes back to oct 2008 that would explain it. But why is there only data from oct 2008 if you stock several years of 1 minute history? Thanks for the info on the tick/second intervals. I'll take that into account. One final question, when recovering minute data, I find that it's fast from 2009 but if I go back to early 2008 it's very very slow. Is this a known limitation?
