"Everything is working great ! Very impressive client. The news refreshes better and is more pertinent than the ******* feed I paid $ 100/month for. I Also like the charts a lot." - Comment from Leon

"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

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

"It’s so nice to be working with real professionals!" - Comment from Len

"For anyone considering using DTN.IQ for a data feed, my experience with the quality of data and the tech support has been very positive." - Comment from Public Forum

"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'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

"Its working FABULOUSLY for me!! Holy cow...there has been so much I've been missing lately, and with this feed and Linnsoft software...I'm in the game now." - Comment from Chris R.

"I've been using IQFeed 4 in a multi-threaded situation for the last week or two on 2600 symbols or so with 100 simultaneous daily charts, and I have had 100% responsiveness." - Comment from Scott

"I will tell others who want to go into trading that DTN ProphetX is an invaluable tool, I don't think anyone can trade without it..." - Comment from Luther

Author	Topic: Bad Ticks using IQFeed Real-Time Feed (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
gidon -Interested User- Posts: 4 Joined: May 10, 2007	Posted: May 10, 2007 06:17 AM Msg. 1 of 4 Hello, I'm using IQFeed real-time feed through QuoteLink (RTD functions into Excel). In the last few days, I noticed that there are more bad ticks than before (in the pas I had almost none). I was wondering if there is any reason for that? In general, do you use bad ticks filter for your feed? Does the new version/server you switching to should reduce or solve the problem? Thanks, Gidon

Are you indicating simply that a price is out of line with where something is trading? Or are you referring to something else? In General, ee do not filter data from the exchange. This means that the bad ticks you are experiencing should be originating from the exchange. All data that is "cleaned up" is done only in historical data. I do not believe there is any plans to start filtering ticks in IQFeed. As a result, the new servers will not reduce the number of bad ticks you receive.

Last Trade... that are so out of whack that it is crazy... Like IBM... 103, 103, 103.01, 1800, 1845, 103.01, 103.02... etc with other stocks too. that is what he means and that is what i mean too... I am also usint QuoteLink too with RTD format and then charting the results from my excel spreadsheet - so, yes, i can see these bad ticks all day long everyday... about 10 to 15 times a day... cj...

We would like to buid a bad ticks filter and for that I will appreciate your help. Can you characterize the behavior of these bad ticks? In particular, can you tell me if these bad ticks are only individuals ticks (meaning, that the data is corrupted for a signle tick and the following tick will be OK)? Any other information about these bad ticks will be helpful for us (or anyone else) to build this kind of filter. Gidon
