Hi,

I'm new with iqfeed.
I want receive historical for MSFT in order to test the API.
When I get realtime data it's OK but with historical data not.

The error message is "unable to connect to Day history socket"

Thanks

First, I would highly recommend that you use the IHistoryLookup3 interface that is in DTNIQFeedCOM.dll instead of the old deprecated history lookup interfaces in the DTNHistoryLookup.dll. Since the interfaces in DTNHistoryLookup.dll are deprecated, they will most likely stop working in an upcomming version and we will stop distributing them. You might as write your code currently to the current interface rather than having to redo it later.

As for the issue above. Just based on the code you have posted, I would guess that the issue is that you haven't actually launched the feed yet. Take a look at the docs for Initializing the feed and let me know if you have questions.
