"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
"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

"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

Two question on the 5 min bar data retrieved from IQFeed:
1) are they the "Last Trade" price? There is another thread that indicates it is not midpoint. Is there a way to get MidPoint 5 min bar price?

2) when comparing with the same 5 min bars from Interactive Brokers, we notice the bars are consistently off by one: e.g. the 9:35 AM IQFeed price matches 9:30AM IB price.
Does IQFeed provide begin-of-the-bar price?

Thank you.

Good morning,

Unfortunately, the answer to both questions would be no. You would have to build the mid from the high + low/2 to get a mid and then adjust the timestamps by subtracting the interval to have them be begin times.

Sorry, I could not be of more help,

Tim
