"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.

Author	Topic: Couple of feature requests? (2 messages, Page 1 of 1)

When i request data, i need to know if it's a valid trading day, i couldn't find anything that helped identify this i.e. if i request day or tick data tonight with '1' day as the parameter i get nothing through...so i have to currently put '3' or more through to get friday's data. i guess i could just work back until i find valid data.. Also i noticed there is a function to request the last X number of ticks, is this possible to do for minute data ? Right now you can only specify minute intervals and number of days to look back over..i..e i might ant just the last 3 hours of minute data but looks like i have to grab the whole days worth of minute data.. thanks

You are correct that tick and minute requests are specified in calendar days (not trading days). You are also correct that you have to pull full days of minute history. With that said, we actively monitor the requests we receive from our customers when determinging which features get implemented in IQFeed (and all other DTN products). I know that your second request has been discussed previously and will most likely be comming in a future release but I can't give an ETA at this time.
