"Previously I was using *******. IQFeed is WAY more economical, and for my charting needs is just as good, if not better." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"I've never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.

"I just wanted to tell you what a fine job you have been doing. While *******, from what I hear, has been down and out, off and on, IQ feed has held like a champ this week." - Comment from Shirin

"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

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

"I'm satisfied with IQFeed. It's the most reliable and fastest quote feed I have ever used. Although I'm a resident in China, it's still very fast!" - Comment from Xiaofei

"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

The number does not match here. When I checked on some other site, the total Volume seems should be 5.01B, which makes sense. Do we know the cause of this? And do we know if there are any more data like this?

We do not count up the total volume as that is supplied by the exchange. If you have any questions please contact service chat is available at www.iqfeed.net IQfeed service phone number 800.779.7299 Thanks Todd

It is from the result directly from the api with request data: EDS,1,5,20210324, do you mean the volume is the same as what directly supplied by the exchange? It looks to me it was due to some data type conversion The total by calculation is 5010045424, while total volume provided is 715078128. Difference is 4294967296 which is 2^32 I noticed for the daily volume, if it is > 4.3B, the number we get from the api will automatically deduct 4294967296. I've also noticed the daily volume returned by EDS command never greater than 4.3B. additional data points for prof (all are retrieved by EDS command, please notice the difference between calculated total volume and the volume directly received by API): Symbol Date Volume(API) calculatedVol difference HCMC 20210617 170545572 4465517868 4294972296 HCMC 20210616 707350096 5002317392 4294967296 HCMC 20210602 1563198018 5858165314 4294967296 INCC 20210520 1770913032 6065880328 4294967296 HCMC 20210510 1390303020 5685270316 4294967296 If anyhow, the volume data is using int or unsigned int (32bit) to represent in the code, please consider using the data type with a bigger range.
