Most likely you are still using the 6.0 client - download and install the 6.1 client from http://www.iqfeed.net/index.cfm?displayaction=support§ion=download Yair Altman IQML - IQFeed-MATLAB connector https://UndocumentedMatlab.com/IQML I am not a DTN employee; my post reflects my personal opinion

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.

Silent login (no popup window) Jul 10, 2019 04:50 AM
(Total replies: 1)
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
(Total replies: 3)
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. Please advise. Yair Altman IQML - IQFeed-MATLAB connector https://UndocumentedMatlab.com/IQML I am not a DTN employee; my post reflects my personal opinion

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

I can do all this in Matlab, using the IQML (IQFeed-Matlab) connector. I have experience with everything you listed. If you have Matlab then you'd be able to use/adapt/maintain the code by yourself. If you don't have Matlab, the program could be compiled as a standalone executable. Contact me to discuss further, if you're interested.

How can I get/use splits info Mar 27, 2019 02:33 PM
(Total replies: 2)
Here is an actual example for MSFT (1:2 split on 03/29/1999 and 02/18/2003) - this is reported as part of the fundamental message for a symbol ("F" message): Split Factor 1: "0.50 02/18/2003" Split Factor 2: "0.50 03/29/1999" This correlates with the latest 2 splits for Microsoft, as reported on https://www.stocksplithistory.com/microsoft/ If there is only a single split in recorded history, Split Factor 2 will be empty. If there is no split history, both strings will be empty. Note that for some reason IQFeed reports the split rounded only to 2 digits after the decimal. For example, the GOOGL split on 4/3/2014 (https://www.stocksplithistory.com/google/) was 1:1.998 but this is reported as "0.50" (instead of the more accurate 0.5005) by IQFeed: Split Factor 1: "0.50 04/03/2014" Split Factor 2: "" In other words, the split factor is not a full-accuracy float but a float rounded to 2 decimal places. Hopefully IQFeed will improve this in a future release. In some cases, splits may be missing or different between different data providers. For example, IQFeed reports only a single split for GOOG (1.00 on 04/27/2015) whereas https://www.stocksplithistory.com/?symbol=GOOG reports a 1:1.0027455 split on that date as well as a 1:2.002 split on 03/27/2014. This appears to be due to faulty data somewhere.

"Invalid interval reference time" Mar 17, 2019 02:41 PM
(Total replies: 5)
I am also seeing these errors on-and-off. It seems that if I enter a valid trading start date then it resumes working and gets out of the loop that constantly throws the "Invalid interval reference time" error. For example: Original request - error: => 20190317 21:34:49.028 (Lookup) HIT,@KCK19,60,20190315 000001,20190317 235959,1,,,1,H-@KCK19,,s <= 20190317 21:34:49.427 (Lookup) H-@KCK19,E,Invalid interval reference time.

NHL News Headlines Request Mar 12, 2019 03:15 PM
(Total replies: 5)
PyDev - I think that you may be misunderstanding the purpose of the NCG request and its relation to NHL, and that this causes your confusion. In fact, NCG is entirely unrelated to NHL - NCG is simply a request for IQFeed to send you your account's news-sources configuration, in either text or XML format. NCG does not modify anything for subsequent NHL queries, nor does it update anything in your account's news configuration, which does not change during the run-time of your program. The text/XML field in the NCG query only affects the response message for this query and not for any other subsequent query. Also, NCG does not start streaming any news headlines. In contrast, NHL is a query to retrieve news headlines, in either text or XML formats. It is entirely unrelated to NCG, except for the fact that the 3-letter news source is described in the NCG response message (for example, CPR = PR Newswire). You can ask the NHL query responses in either text or XML format, but this is separate from the format that you asked in the NCG query. Your program should query NCG just once, at the beginning of your program run, and then call NHL multiple times later. There is no point in calling NCG more than once in the program since the config information does not change.
