"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'm satisfied with IQFeed. It's the most reliable and fastest quote feed I have ever used. Although I'm a resident in China, it's still very fast!" - Comment from Xiaofei
"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

Hello,

I am a new user and I have gone through most of the documentation and samples and understand most of it. I have a very specific question that I thought would save me time if I just asked here.

In real-time Level 1 data response I have access to field number 15 (Tick) with values 173, 175 and 183. I am looking for the same data in historical queries and streaming bars (derivative feed). Ideally in streaming bars or historical data intervals, this would be the sum of the ticks (1 for up, -1 for down). Is this available? If not, is there a way to programmatically achieve this?

Thanks.

Hello,

Unfortunately no, this would need to be built from the underlying tick data. Up/Down volume is not stored in our historical data sets.

Thanks Tim.

Since this is a value calculated by IQConnect.exe in real-time based on the last trade, is it safe to say that the appropriate logic to use would be that if a trade takes place higher than the last trade, its an uptick, if lower then its a downtick, if equal then it is the previous tick value?

Thanks.
