"You are either overstaffed or people just don't have problems with your feed because customer support always answers the phone quickly." - Comment from Jay via Email

"And by the way, have to say this. I love the IQFeed software. It's rock solid and it has a really nice API." - Comment from Thomas via RT Chat

"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

"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

"You are much better than lawyers or the phone company because you answer the phone when I call! I just love your customer service." - Comment from Isreal

"Thanks for following up with me. You guys do a great job in tech support." - Comment from Phelps

"Thank you so much - awesome feed, awesome service!" - Comment from Greg via Email

"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

"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom

"I am a hedge fund manager here. It’s funny, I have a Bloomberg terminal and a Bridge feed, but I still like having my DTN feed!" - Comment from Feras

Author	Topic: Bulk End-Of-Day Data Download (2 messages, Page 1 of 1)

I'd like to be able to download, say all stocks EOD data for the last 5 years -- like an EOD service may provide. Then the ability to fetch the last N days for all stocks without requiring a request per stock symbol. The IQFeed server would get a request for ALL stocks EOD data between dates X and Y, build a zip file (compress), and return the file. This would facilitate populating and maintaining a complete EOD database on the user's machine. Even after-hours only would be great. This would be great for our DTN RealTime satellite product TRAX since users want to populate historical EOD data for charting and systems backtesting, but the satellite service doesn't provide historical data, and currently requires another 3rd party EOD data service. In the case of TRAX, the bulk download would primarily be needed to backfill historical data, then TRAX would maintain the EOD database with the satellite data each day by executing an end-of-day process to save the satellite received EOD prices and volume. DTN RealTime with IQFeed could be a great combination. TRAX: DTN RealTime Software for DTN RealTime Satellite http://trax.base16.com

Because it is sold wholesale for redistribution, its price is in the $1000+ price range. We have considered an EOD service, whereby we would limit logins to after market hours only and allow the download of historical data. This doesn't provide the universe download of historical data in a single file, but would allow users to churn through a symbol list to populate their database. At this time, due to development resource limitation, it isn't on the short term radar. It is something on our list though and something we hope to get to. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.
