"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

"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

"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

"DTN feed was the only feed that consistently matched Bloomberg feed for BID/ASK data verification work these past years......DTN feed is a must for my supply & demand based trading using Cumulative Delta" - Comment from Public Forum Post

The ticks should be in chronological order for the same symbol. Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed Implementation Support Specialist
DTN_Gary_Stephen -DTN Guru- Posts: 396 Joined: Jul 3, 2019	Posted: Aug 1, 2023 04:45 PM Msg. 3 of 8 What's the exact command you're doing? It must be an HTT command (not HIT) because it returns tick data. Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed Implementation Support Specialist

DTN_Gary_Stephen -DTN Guru- Posts: 396 Joined: Jul 3, 2019	Posted: Aug 22, 2023 01:54 PM Msg. 8 of 8 If you need an urgent answer to anything, your best option is to go through the IQFeed API support email or chat. Either will create a support case that is tracked. Monitoring of the forums is more sporadic and informal, though a site refresh is in progress. As for your original question: ticks for the same symbol shouldn't be out of order like your example. However, we can't really research it now, because tick data is only held for 180 days. (The original tick was on February 2; your original post was on July 31, which was exactly 180 days later.) Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed Implementation Support Specialist
