"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

I worked with API for the last week and I faced a situation I can't understand, I hope you can help me. In the beginning of the last week (19.10.2020) I loaded 1-minutes bars for AAPL for period 2013-01-01 - 2020-10-16 with request HIT. I saved this data and after a couple of days (21.10.2020) I loaded the same data again, with the same request. I compared this data using pandas (datetime column in index, merge and calculating differences between corresponding columns) and saw that there are differences between old and new files. I'm attaching a file with differences to the post, I hope you can look at this. Differences mostly in volume, but there are a few differences for prices too. Can you explain to me what data are correct, old one or new one and how is it possible, that so old data (2016 and 2018 years) was changed? I tried to get a specific request from the package I use and I think it is HIT,AAPL,60,20130101 000000,20201016 235959,"","","",True,1,100,s,True<CR><LF> Time in file in GMT.

Because different historical requests handle trades and volume differently. Interval history (HI_) includes only Last Qualified and Form T trades, and the period volume will include only those trades, but total volume includes all trades. Daily history (HD_) includes only last-qualified prices (not Form T), and the period volume will include only those trades, but total volume includes all trades. However, the daily volume includes all trades in both cases. So if you're doing different types of requests, the total volume will appear different.

I'll follow up on this thread when I have more info. Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed Implementation Support Specialist
