"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

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

"Everything is working great ! Very impressive client. The news refreshes better and is more pertinent than the ******* feed I paid $ 100/month for. I Also like the charts a lot." - Comment from Leon

"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

DTN_Steve_G -DTN IQFeed- Posts: 28 Joined: Oct 1, 2004	Posted: Oct 27, 2004 03:34 PM Msg. 3 of 6 andrzejs, I checked with our staff on this. Ready? When an ask only occurs, an "a" trade time type will be used. When a bid only occurs, or when both a bid and an ask occurs, a "b" trade time type will be used. You will not see any "a" trade time type for equities, since all equity quotes have both a bid and an ask on them. Only commodities will have "a" trade time types, when only an ask occurs. The two symbols (SUNW and SSRI), which you were watching, are equities. SOOO, you will see everything reported on a "b" trade time type. I hope that is a little bit clearer than mud (joke!).
