"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom

"I use IQ Feed, Great stuff as far as data analysis information, storage and retrieval is concerned." - Comment from Public Forum

"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

"Thanks for all of your help. Great customer service deserves to be recognized which one the reasons I've been a customer of DTN for over 10 years!" - Comment from Stuart

"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

"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

"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

"You are much better than lawyers or the phone company because you answer the phone when I call! I just love your customer service." - Comment from Isreal

"The service is great, I see a noticeable improvement in my volume profiles over [broker]'s data feed" - Comment from Larry

"I like you guys better than *******...much more stable and a whole lot fewer issues." - Comment from Philip

Author	Topic: EOD Data Question (5 messages, Page 1 of 1)
jbteel -Interested User- Posts: 9 Joined: Jul 24, 2004	Posted: Feb 6, 2005 09:12 PM Msg. 1 of 5 I am not able to access Friday's (2/4) EOD data. I use Neoticker in real time and scan using the EOD data in the evening and on weekends. I see this happen every once in a while. Can you tell me how you store EOD data? Is it a seperate server? When is it updated? For example, I can usually access EOD data after about 6:00pm CST. I trying to figure out if this is on the IQfeed side or if I have a software problem. Thanks, Jordan

If Neoticker is pulling EOD data, what they are doing is pulling a snapquote with the latest price and using that for EOD data. Either that, or they are accessing daily bars and using the last day to populate the internal EOD database. In either case, I am not sure what would cause it to sporatically not populate, unless it is a timing issue where you are trying to access the data using daily bars before the new day has been added to them, or using a snapquote after we have cleared the previous days data. At 6pm CST, the daily data most likely hasn't been written to the daily bars yet, but the current days quote data would still be in our snapquote data. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.

I was receiving all EOD data (including the missing 2/4/05 data) Friday night and Saturday on a Beta version of my software. On Sunday (2/6/05) this problem of not receiving EOD data after 2/4/05 (Friday) started. Realtime data is fine. To be sure, when I got home last night, I tried my backup machine which has the Offical version of the Neoticker software. This machine was working fine last week, has not been used since last week, and there have been no changes to the machine. Guess what? My backup machine is NOT receiving any EOD data after 2/3/05 either. This indicates to me that my software is not the problem, and that something may have changed on the IQfeed side. I need to get this figured out ASAP. As I cannot perform any evening scans without current EOD data. I have also sent email to the Neoticker folks to see what they know. Thanks, Jordan
jbteel -Interested User- Posts: 9 Joined: Jul 24, 2004	Posted: Feb 7, 2005 07:41 PM Msg. 4 of 5 Jay, FYI. As of 7:00 PM CST 2/7/2005, I am receiving the EOD data again on both machines running different versions of the Neoticker software. This had to be on the IQfeed side (upgrade, reboot, glitch, ... something). Can you find out what may have caused this? As noted above, the problem began on Sunday. It was in the late morning/early afternoon. A response from you to a problem I had last July, posted on: Jul 27, 2004 08:15 AM, that: "The current day's daily bar won't appear until after all post market exchange maintenence is done. Usually around 7pm or so. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC." I find it interesting that at 7:00 PM, the EOD data started working again. I'm really happy to have it back, and not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I'd really like to know what happened. It very frustrating when I am 99.999% sure which side the problem is on, and I can't seem to get someone to accept it. Thanks, Jordan

Thanks, Jordan --- Original message by jbteel on Feb 7, 2005 11:04 AM I am having a little trouble following the timing. On Friday and saturday, you were getting EOD data up through and including Friday. Then, on Sunday, you all the sudden are not able to get data for Friday? I don't know what data Neoticker is using for what it calls EOD data unfortunately. It can either be: 1) pulling the open, high,low,close,volume from a current quote (which will only be available for Friday's trading until early Saturday 2)it could be using the IQFeed historical files, which aren't created until mid evening (in which case once it is there, it is there) 3) from intraday files, which also would be available anytime with the data up through the current trades. If option 2 or 3, then it could be that Neoticker is only asking for 1 or 2 days worth of data. If they are only asking for 2 days, our system runs in calendar days, so it would only give you Saturday and Sunday if asked for 2 days on Sunday. These are the only things I can think of. However, we are here to work with you and hopefully with NeoTickers help we can get to the bottom of the issue. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.
