"There is no doubt that IQFeed is the best data provider. I am very satisfied with your services. And IQFeed is the only one that I would recommend to my friends. Now, most of them are using your product in China." - Comment from Zhezhe

"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

"I have been using IQFeed now for a few years in MultiCharts and I have zero complaints. Very, very rare to have any data hiccups or anything at all go wrong." - Comment from Public Forum

"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

"I've been using IQFeed 4 in a multi-threaded situation for the last week or two on 2600 symbols or so with 100 simultaneous daily charts, and I have had 100% responsiveness." - Comment from Scott

Author	Topic: Historical download and Level 1 Update/Summary order in 5.0 (5 messages, Page 1 of 1)
wpleasant -Interested User- Posts: 3 Joined: Apr 16, 2012	Posted: Jan 21, 2013 12:40 PM Msg. 1 of 5 While working with protocol 5.0 I’ve noticed that the earliest available equity data (“IBM”,”SPY”,”AAPL”) I’ve been able to download using “HTT” starts on 2013-01-14. Is this something on my end or has the historical data not been backfilled? Also, with level 1 update/ summary messages is it safe to assume that the “Current Update Field Names” will remain in the same order for the foreseeable future and that if any additional fields are added they would be appended on the end of the message? Example messages from iqfeed after setting protocol to 5.0: S,CURRENT PROTOCOL,5.0, S,CURRENT UPDATE FIELDNAMES,Symbol,Most Recent Trade,Most Recent Trade Size,Most Recent Trade TimeMS,Most Recent Trade Market Center,Total Volume,Bid,Bid Size,Ask,Ask Size,Open,High,Low,Close,Message Contents,Most Recent Trade Conditions Best regards, William

You should be able to retrieve additional tick data outside of these hours (before 9:30 EST or after 16:30 EST). Current default update field names should remain in the same order for protocol 5.0. Please be aware that you can change the fields used and the order that they are returned; refer to the documentation (search for S,SELECT UPDATE FIELDS) for more details. Nathan W.

Before the 24th the data appears to revert back to version <= 4.9. Is this consistent for all US equities and will the millisecond time stamps be back-filled to the full 120 days?
aQuant -Interested User- Posts: 49 Joined: Jul 20, 2012	Posted: Jan 23, 2013 08:10 AM Msg. 4 of 5 I would also be interested in knowing whether tick-history for futures contracts has millisecond timestamps going 120 days back (using 5.0 protocol) or whether there is a more recent date before which it is only a second precision.
