"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed.

Author	Topic: Different numbers of ticks, streaming vs HTT (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)

When running live, I found 1142 Q,CA messages. When using the historical data, HTT, I found only 272. Over a longer time period, the 10 minutes from [10:00:00 to 10:10:00), I see 611 ticks from HTT and about 1093 Q,CA messages. I have two files containing the data from each, if you would like me to attach them. Why would this be happening?

My guess is that you are not properly filtering trades messages in the streaming feed. Having the files would probably the be the easiest way to explain the difference. Feel free to either attach them or email them to developer support.

In order to match historical data, you will need to filter out only the trade messages. It looks like there is only about 240 trades in that file. The Last Trade Time field has a character identifier to indicate if the message contains bid/ask or trade information.
