Only TRADES for "HIT" historical data requests? Dec 22, 2019 08:25 AM
(Total replies: 8)
I don't want to answer in DTN's stead, but I think you are underestimating the required effort to have HIT support for non-trading ticks. Remember that HIT enables specifying an interval of not just 60 secs but even a couple of secs, as well as any number of ticks (i.e., not a fixed-duration interval) and volume. To support all of these combinations with a custom interval size by the users, IQFeed would be required to store and process every single tick. This may not seem much for out-of-the-money options, but it would be an enormous amount of data for Forex options or S&P 500 equities (for example). In short, except for certain asset classes, it is an unrealistic expectation to support. And if IQFeed were to support non-trading ticks with only these certain asset types, users would naturally complain that all other asset types are not similarly supported. Note that I am not a DTN employee and this is just my own personal opinion.

Only TRADES for "HIT" historical data requests? Dec 22, 2019 06:56 AM

It is my understanding that only historic trades are stored/reported by IQFeed. The amount of data that would be required to store non-trading ticks would be simply enormous and so AFAIK IQFeed does not offer it. You can create your own database of bid/ask OHLC bars by streaming all quotes using the w[symbol] (don't use t[symbol] because this streams only trades).

Another report of this problem: http://forums.dtn.com/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=5678 I have also gotten an unrelated independent report on this exact same problem for NASDAQ summary data. It seems to be a problem that multiple people who use multiple different platforms have experienced. Please look into this matter.

Craig - I agree with you that the description could probably be made clearer. I believe the meaning is simply that the optional Date parameter can be either a single date (YYYYMMDD) or a date range (YYYYMMDD-YYYYMMDD) or any combination of dates and date-ranges, separated by colons. For example, "20190620:20190701-20190731:20190908" means "the single date 2019-06-20, plus the date range 2019-07-01 to 2019-07-31, plus the single date 2019-09-08". p.s. - in the description, the comma just before the final date is most probably a typo - it should be a colon (:). In IQFeed's API commas are used to separate between parameters and are not allowed within the parameter values. The colon character is used to separate values within a parameter (hence "colon delimited").

Bugs in SBS (Symbols by SIC lookup) query Sep 29, 2019 05:06 AM
(Total replies: 4)
Followup problem #3: SIC groups 00-09 (Agriculture sector) return no symbols at all. For example: => SBS,07,x It seems that only SIC groups 10+ are properly processed. You *do* have information about the Agriculture stocks. For example, you report valid market and fundamental data for AGRO (SIC=0139, i.e. SIC group 01), CVGW (SIC=0179) and FDP (SIC=0179) - It's just that you don't return these symbols in the SBS query since their SIC group < 10.

Bugs in SBS (Symbols by SIC lookup) query Sep 28, 2019 01:46 PM
(Total replies: 4)
When I search for symbols by SIC code (SBS query), I can see the following: => SBS,28,x There are 2 problems with these results: 1. SIC group codes 2820,2839,2840,2870 are not listed in the response to a SSC query. I detected 154 such SIC codes that were reported by SBS but not listed by SSC (I can email you this list of 154 if you wish). 2. Some symbols are reported without a company name. I found 4 cases of this problem: AIHLF (SIC code 2834), ELIAF (4911), UTBPP (6798) and FWDE (1311). I have not tested to check whether similar problems occur with the corresponding NAICS queries (SBN and SNC), but it would not surprise me to discover this. Please advise...

Average Volume field in fundamental data Sep 27, 2019 07:55 AM
(Total replies: 1)
What is the units of the Average Volume field in the Fundamental data message (http://www.iqfeed.net/dev/api/docs/Level1FundamentalMessage.cfm)? is it shares or USD? is it the nominal value or specified in thousands/millions? This question chimes with a similar recent query on this forum (http://forums.iqfeed.net/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=5615), where it was not clear whether the Common Shares Outstanding field is the nominal value or specified in thousands (the latter, in this case). I therefore suggest adding a <Units> column to the table in the documentation webpage, to make things clearer to users, for these data fields as well as all the others.

Regarding your 2nd question (Is there a way to get what symbols are currently watched?), you can try a S,REQUEST WATCHES request in the Level1 port - this returns a comma-separated list of all currently-watched symbols.

How to tell which futures contract the continuous contract is based on? Jul 15, 2019 11:13 AM
(Total replies: 4)
You can use the Exchange_Root field together with the Expiration_Date field (to get the year and month), convert the month into the corresponding letter based on the standard symbology, and concatenate everything together. For example, @ES# currently reports Exchange_Root='ES' and Expiration_Date='09/20/2019', so the current underlying contract is @ESU19 (U=September). If you compare the data fields of the fundamental report (after placing a simple watch) for @ES# and @ESU19, you'll see that they are identical except for 4 fields that naturally contain different values: Symbol, Historical_Volatility, 52_Week_High, and 52_Week_High_Date.

Is there any way to login to IQFeed without the login window appearing? Today, even if we run IQConnect with -login, -password and/or -autoconnect, the login window still appears for a few seconds until the authentication process completes. If having a silent login option is not currently possible, then please add it to your next release.

Timestamp Resolution for Tick Data Jun 20, 2019 03:31 PM
(Total replies: 2)
My hunch is that you are not setting the protocol when you first connect to IQFeed, which then defaults to IQFeed 4.9 behavior. When I run your query using protocol 5.0 I see millisecond timestamp resolution, and with protocol 6.0 or 6.1 I see microsecs resolution. http://www.iqfeed.net/dev/api/docs/IQFeedProtocols.cfm Yair Altman IQML - IQFeed-MATLAB connector https://UndocumentedMatlab.com/IQML I am not a DTN employee; my post reflects my personal opinion Edited by altmany on Jun 20, 2019 at 03:33 PM Edited by altmany on Jun 20, 2019 at 03:33 PM

XGU19 data Jun 13, 2019 06:48 AM

These may be trades done outside regular trading hours (RTH), not via the regular electronic market. The low volume (quantity/size) highlights the difference between such trades (which are infrequent) and trades during normal trading hours. If you run a streaming query and check the reported MessageContents and TradeCondition fields, you'll probably see that they contain codes that correspond to "Extended/Form-T Trade" (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/formt.asp) i.e., traded outside RTH. Some IQFeed queries have the ability to set a filter (BeginFilterTime, EndFilterTime) that limit the reported results to a specific daily time range (for example, 9:30am to 4pm) - you can set it up so that extended trades are not reported.

HIT BeginDate BeginTime and DataDirection works incorrectly Jun 12, 2019 03:11 PM
(Total replies: 6)
The MaxDatapoints parameter has precedence over BeginDate/Time, regardless of DataDirection. For example, if MaxDatapoints=3 (as in your example), we’ll only get the 3 latest ticks (before EndDate/Time), regardless of BeginDate/Time. If you don't want this behavior, leave MaxDatapoints empty. Perhaps DTN should update the documentation with this important clarification, but it seems to me to be a documentation aspect, not a coding bug.

Bug in Level2 BidTime/AskTime? May 15, 2019 06:08 AM
(Total replies: 3)
Thanks Steve - here is another example that I have just seen, this time for the FB symbol: <= 20190515 07:01:01.237 (Level2) Z,FB,CHXE,0.,180.71,0,100,07:00:17.012566,2019-05-15,52,99:99:99.000000,F,T,T In this new example, the Bid is invalid and the Ask is valid, yet the timestamps appear switched. As far as I could tell, this problem is evident whenever one Bid/Ask is valid and the other is not. But it is quite possible that the problem of switched BidTime<->AskTime is consistent even when both Bid and Ask are valid, and nobody has reported it so far because it would be nearly impossible to detect except in the specific case of just one of them being invalid.

Bug in Level2 BidTime/AskTime? May 2, 2019 04:15 AM
(Total replies: 3)
when I ran a level 2 request for MSFT outside regular trading hours, I got the following data row among others: <= 20190502 04:18:38.700 (Level2) Z,MSFT,BATS,0.,129.39,0,600,18:29:49.000347,2019-05-01,52,99:99:99.000000,F,T,T According to the documentation (http://www.iqfeed.net/dev/api/docs/Level2UpdateSummaryMessage.cfm), this row translates as follows: Symbol: MSFT The reported BidTime and AskTime make no sense - it is the Bid which is invalid (and should have the invalid time of 99:99:99), and the Ask which is valid (and should have the valid time of 18:29:49). Is this a bug in IQFeed's code? If I'm correct, perhaps it would be simpler to fix the documentation than to fix the code - switching between BidTime/AskTime in the documentation will seem a bit awkward (because Bid is often reported before Ask), but at least it would be consistent with your current code and would not require you to do any code fixes.

Problem+solution connecting to an IQFeed port (already in use) Apr 10, 2019 05:11 PM
(Total replies: 0)
Today I spent a few frustrating hours trying to debug a problem when connecting to the Lookup port (for historic data) on a specific machine. For the benefit of others who may encounter a similar problem and search this forum, here's a breakdown of the problem, causes, analysis and solution: TL/DR: When any other application on the computer uses one of IQFeed's ports, it cannot be used in IQFeed. Solution: either remove the other application, or change IQFeed's default port assignment to some unused port. Symptoms:
Diagnosis: Open DOS Command Window (run as administrator) and run the following command: netstat -abon This will display all the active ports and the processes that hold them. For example, in my particular case the relevant line was this: [lghub_agent.exe] This tells us that the culprit is the lghub_agent.exe process (part of Logitec's G-Hub application), process ID=2312 Solutions:
I hope this helps someone... Yair Altman IQML - IQFeed-MATLAB connector https://UndocumentedMatlab.com/IQML I am not a DTN employee; my post reflects my personal opinion Edited by altmany on Apr 10, 2019 at 05:12 PM |
