The ca_ticks file has T, and Q,CA messages from the live feed for the symbol CA between 10:00 and about 10:10.


My example is for the symbol CA, from [10:00:00 to 10:01:00) this morning.

When running live, I found 1142 Q,CA messages. When using the historical data, HTT, I found only 272.

Over a longer time period, the 10 minutes from [10:00:00 to 10:10:00), I see 611 ticks from HTT and about 1093 Q,CA messages.

I have two files containing the data from each, if you would like me to attach them.

Why would this be happening?


Per [1]

There are at most 2 expiration year digits and at most 2 expiration date digits.

When I submit the following request to the feed:

CEO,LVLT,pc,,4,,0,,,_LVLT

I get a valid result which includes the following option symbols, which don't meet the above standard. What am I supposed to do with these?

LVLT21217O1

Did I ask this question about a year ago, and forget the answer? If so, I apologize. Of the 100-200 symbols I subscribe to, this only seems to be happening with LVLT.

Data and Content Support » Symbol Changes Oct 8, 2011 09:56 AM (Total replies: 5)

Will the NOTIFIES section of this page[1] keep me up to date with all symbol changes (I'm primarily interested in NYSE and NASDAQ equities and options on them) in time to change my code, or is there somewhere else I need to check.

IQFeed Developer Support » Problem with multiple HTT requests May 31, 2011 08:33 PM (Total replies: 4)

Thank you for your reply.

Using RequestIDs and a hash of filehandles seems to work.

IQFeed Developer Support » Problem with multiple HTT requests May 30, 2011 09:50 PM (Total replies: 4)

Also, strangely, it seems to fail the most with the symbol TSM.

I've spent all weekend trying to figure this out.

IQFeed Developer Support » Problem with multiple HTT requests May 30, 2011 08:48 PM (Total replies: 4)

Attached is my code and the symbols I am looping over.

The symbols are not looped over in any particular order.

That if fails on the 39th or 40th try seems pretty consistent.

IQFeed Developer Support » Problem with multiple HTT requests May 30, 2011 08:39 PM (Total replies: 4)

Each time the roughly 39th request returns no data, not even !E,NO_DATA

Sadly, my code can't seem to handle the return of absolutely nothing very well.


I tried using the symbol lookup for DJ and ZD, and I searched through all five pages of the recent Index symbols update, but I can't find any it.

Thanks in advance,
Josh


Thank you for the quick fix.

With the sizes, I saw "C-" before the valid value, not just "C".


I won't be able to upgrade until the weekend, it can wait until after I do that.

My code has been pretty stable, though.

I didn't see it today.


I meant to include examples so that you could see that the C. and C- appear on either the bid or ask.

Q,T1122M29,1.07,C.94,0.98,C-2400,12,23,11,
Q,T1122M29,1.07,0.97,C.99,46,C-1200,11,23,


I am currently only seeing this behavior only for options on T and XRX. I subscribe to options on about 50 symbols.

It began November 2nd and has continued since.

These are my selected update fields:

Last,Bid,Ask,Bid Size,Ask Size,Bid Market Center,Ask Market Center

And here are a couple examples of the unusual ticks, out of 52 total unusual ticks, from the last few days:

Q,T1122A30,0.37,C.38,0.40,C-3600,9,23,5,
Q,XRX1122A12.5,0.39,0.38,C.41,394,C-1000,9,23,

In the same time frame I have received no F messages, and 1 P message, with the bad data:

P,T1122M27,C,0.42,-0.06,-0.125,50,50,0.42,0.42,C.40,0.41,C-5300,475,,,0.,09:55:43t,11684,0.42,0.48,0.41,27.000,,,n,,,,,11/02/2010,,0.42,01/22/2011,,,-0.06,0.,,,,,0.,0,,,12,2,81,116,NYSEALT-BSE-CBOE-ISE-PSE-NMS-PHLX,,,,,1,,,,14099631,,,16,23,16,09:55:43,5-6-9-11-13-16-17-23,

Please advise.

IQFeed Developer Support » IQFeed under WINE Oct 23, 2010 08:14 AM (Total replies: 7)

I run IQFeed under WINE on a headless server. One extra step I had to do was install Xvfb, the X virtual frame buffer. I also kick off the script with a DISPLAY=:1 (based on how I configured Xvfb).

IQFeed Developer Support » Missing historical data for VVUS using HTT Jul 21, 2010 10:28 AM (Total replies: 1)

I'm successfully getting historical tick data for many symbols, but not VVUS.

This is the command I'm sending...

HTT,S,20100715 093000,20100715 160000

and this is all I'm getting.

E,!NO_DATA!,

We are getting pretty near the last day that this historical tick data will be available.

IQFeed Developer Support » Missing Market in SLM Jul 15, 2010 01:23 PM (Total replies: 1)

Today I received this tick:

Q,PAYX,26.4100,26.4000,26.4300,100,300,25,10,

after subscribing to PAYX and sending:

S,SELECT UPDATE FIELDS,Last,Bid,Ask,Bid Size,Ask Size,Bid Market Center,Ask Market Center

and

wPAYX

But the output of SLM from this morning doesn't include a market 25.

What do you think happened?

IQFeed Developer Support » HTD bid size and ask size always zero? Jun 30, 2010 01:36 PM (Total replies: 1)

Today I made a number of requests like HTD,S,2\r\n and I got the results back quickly and in good order but it appears that, for both C and E trade types, the bid and ask sizes are always 0.

Is this to be expected for HTD?

It is true for the roughly 75 symbols I tried.


Here's how it can be done in Perl.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use POE qw(Component::Client::TCPMulti);

system("/path/to/IQFeed/iqconnect.exe -product DEMO -version 1.1 &");
sleep 15;

my ($level1,$feed);

POE::Component::Client::TCPMulti->new(
InputEvent => sub {
print "From server: $_[ARG0]\n";
},
SuccessEvent => sub {
if ($_[ARG2] == 5009) {
$level1 = $_[ARG4];
$_[KERNEL]->yield(send => $level1, "wGOOG\r\n");
} elsif ($_[ARG2] == 9100) {
$feed = $_[ARG4];
$_[KERNEL]->yield(send => $feed, "HTD,MO1018U19,3\r\n");
}
},
inline_states => {
_start => sub {
$_[KERNEL]->yield(connect => '127.0.0.1', $_) for (5009, 9100);
},
}
);

IQFeed Developer Support » Unexpected option name format in CEO response Jun 25, 2010 07:32 AM (Total replies: 3)

I have a new, confusing CEO response, also for C. They look like July 2010 puts.

C1002S1,C1002S2,C1002S3,C1002S4,C1002S5,C1002S6,C1002S7,C1002S8

I'm also getting back the expected July 2010 puts.

C1017S1,C1017S2,C1017S3,C1017S4,C1017S5,C1017S6,C1017S7,C1017S8

I checked CBOE[1] and I don't see these options.

S11019R2.5,S11019R5,S11019R7.5,

A few of these options have an unexpected name, all contain one more digit than
I know what to make of:

S11019F2.5
S11019F5
S11019F7.5
S11019R2.5
S11019R5
S11019R7.5

These are all June 2011 series options, but they are supposed to expire on the 18th,
not the 19th, and what is that 0 doing there?

I'm also seeing this "extra digit" in option chains on PBCT, WFC, XRX, and MRK.
