"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

"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

"I "bracket trade" all major news releases and I have not found one lag or glitch with DTN.IQ feed. I am very comfortable with their feed under all typical news conditions (Fed releases, employment numbers, etc)." - Comment from Public Forum

"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 started a trial a few weeks back before the market went wild. DTN.IQ didn’t miss anything and beat my other provider. I decided to stay with you because of the great service through all the volatility." - Comment from Mike

Author	Topic: When is equity option EOD available? (5 messages, Page 1 of 1)
rodney trotter -Interested User- Posts: 45 Joined: Aug 28, 2005	Posted: Apr 23, 2007 09:57 PM Msg. 1 of 5 1. When using HistoryLookup RequestDayHistory it seems the current days data is not available unless the middle of the night for equity options. (I am CST). When should I expect it? 2. The Minute history seems to be available immediately but if no trades on an option during the day, it appears to give an "unable to connect to minute history socket" after about a 5 minute wait. Why does it take so long to give HistoryLookupAbortedLoad response? 3. I tried to use OptionChainLookup hoping it only returned traded options for the day but it seems to return all active option symbols. I want to start my data download at 6:00PM CST using RequestDayHistory. If no history available for today on an option then try getting a day of minute data. The long timeouts to abort load are killing me. Do you have a solution?

In the future (as when the new servers go online, they will be scheduled so that they are more in line with when this data "should" be available ... 2) I'll have to look into this. I am not sure why it isn't returning immediately as it should be. This does not appear to affect the IHistoryLookuip2 COM interface. 3) This is the intended use of the Chain Lookups The only solutions I can see at this point (until this issue is resolved) would be to switch to using the IHistoryLookup2 interface or to request your minute history via sockets.

However, I was not quite correct in my initial post. Equity EOD availablility times were not affected by the server release referenced. However, since the time that this was posted, it does appear that the Equity EOD data is now available slightly sooner at around 9PM EST (as opposed to it being available at midnight before).
