"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

"I was on the phone with a friend who uses CQG and right after the Fed announcement, CQG was as much as 30 seconds behind DTN.IQ. Some quotes were off by as much as 15-18 cents. Your feed never missed a beat." - Comment from Roger

"Can I get another account from you? I am tired of ******* going down so often" - Comment from George

"Version 4.0.0.2 has been working well for me and I appreciate that it is now a much tighter client to work with. I feel I can go to press with my own application and rely on a stable platform" - Comment from David in IA.

Author	Topic: SECOND front month contract volumes for Cocoa not matching Bloomberg Volumes (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
sanjayqdt -Interested User- Posts: 2 Joined: Feb 5, 2023 Smithers!	Posted: Feb 5, 2023 01:36 PM Msg. 1 of 4 I pulled the hourly prints for the second front month contract for ICE US Cocoa Futures (CC*2 and, currently, the May 23 expiry) from the getHistory API. I noticed that the volume for daily traded contracts is different from what I see on my Bloomberg terminal. If I sum up the hourly volumes traded, I come to ~12,000 contracts traded on Feb 1 (Wednesday) and if I compare this to Bloomberg, I see ~23,000 contracts traded. I don't understand why these volumes would be different when the prices seem to match?

You can verify this by using the IQFeed Time & Sales app (found in the IQFeed Applications folder on your desktop). Perhaps on your data pull you aren't counting the implied trades.

Or are you using the modern TCP/IP history requests, like HIT or HID? Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed Implementation Support Specialist
