"I am keeping IQFeed, much better reliabilty than *******. I may refer a few other people in the office to switch as well." - Comment from Don

"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

"Very impressed with the quality of your feed - ******* is a real donkey in comparison." - Comment from A.C. 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

"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

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

"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 like you guys better than *******...much more stable and a whole lot fewer issues." - Comment from Philip

"I've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from Public Forum

"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

Author	Topic: Historic pricing for expired Option symbols (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
tturk -Interested User- Posts: 2 Joined: Jul 22, 2015	Posted: Jul 22, 2015 01:33 PM Msg. 1 of 4 Is it possible to get historic option data ( minute level ) of expired contracts ? eg: Iam able to get options as old as a week or so (GOOG1517G570) Am wondering if I can pull out expired option symbols as old as 2010 or 2011 ( as long as the symbols that I generate are valid and right with the right strike price ). P.S : Iam using R and package iqfeed to get the data. Using the function iqQuote ( to check if the symbol is valid ) and if it is then I use HIT to retrieve the symbol daily quotes .

You would just need to know the symbol.

Now that makes me wonder if Iam doing something wrong with creating the symbols. Let me elaborate . Am using R quote<-iqQuote("GOOG1517G580", type="P", limit=10) #This works ! ( and returns valid data ) CSCO1220V19 - Does not work ! AMZN1017D110 - Does not work ! (Those symbols are from the site for the rules for deciphering symbologies ) http://iqfeed.net/symbolguide/index.cfm?symbolguide=guide&displayaction=support§ion=guide&web=iqfeed&guide=options&web=IQFeed&type=stock Please let me know if Iam doing something wrong. Other sample symbologies that Iam trying to create to test but not working .. CSCO1216K18 CSCO1217K18 Edited by tturk on Jul 23, 2015 at 09:14 PM
