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.

Unable to connect to Admin port afetr starting IQconnect Mar 12, 2019 06:56 AM
(Total replies: 3)
For completeness, in case anyone else has a similar problem, you can start IQConnect asynchronously by appending '&' at the end of the command: IQConnect.exe ... -autoconnect & Note that this is not specific to Matlab - It is an OS issue that may be relevant for anyone who launches IQConnect programmatically, using any programming language. Some programming languages also have alternative mechanisms for starting an external process asynchronously, without requiring an extra '&', but sending a system command with & should work across the board.

News items with matlab Mar 12, 2019 06:37 AM
(Total replies: 2)
In case anyone else has the same issue: I believe that the news configuration information is not available via Matlab's Trading Toolbox. If you are using the IQML (IQFeed-Matlab) connector instead of Trading Toolbox, you can query the news configuration as follows: Quote: >> data = IQML('news', 'DataType','config') data = Category: 'All News' Majors: [1×7 struct] >> {data.Majors.Source} ans = 1×7 cell array {'DTN'} {'CPR'} {'CBW'} {'RTT'} {'CPZ'} {'CIW'} {'BEN'} >> {data.Majors.Description} ans = 1×7 cell array {'DTN News'} {'PR Newswire'} {'Business Wire'} {'Real-Time Trader'} {'GlobeNewswire Inc'} {'Marketwire'} {'Benzinga Pro'} You can also drill-down for details about news sources: Quote: >> data.Majors(1) ans = Source: 'DTN' Description: 'DTN News' AuthenticationCode: '1D' IconID: 10 Minors: [1×4 struct] >> data.Majors(1).Minors(1) ans = Source: 'DT5' Description: 'Treasuries, Most Actives, Gainers, Losers' AuthenticationCode: '1D' >> data.Majors(1).Minors(2) ans = Source: 'RTL' Description: 'Derivatives - Selected Futures and Options' AuthenticationCode: '2Ab' IconID: 10 Note: I am not a DTN employee; my post reflects my personal opinion and not necessarily DTN's - Yair IQML - IQFeed-Matlab connector https://UndocumentedMatlab.com/IQML

MATLAB R2013b connection problem Mar 12, 2019 06:01 AM
(Total replies: 3)
In case anyone stumbles on a similar error, I believe that it was caused because the Matlab iqf function (part of the Trading Toolbox) expects the username and password in string format, i.e. iqf('1234','9876') and not iqf(1234,9876). Instead of using the Trading Toolbox to connect Matlab to IQFeed, consider using the IQML connector. IQML was optimized for run-time performance (speed), ease-of-use, and reliability. It comes with extensive documentation, and supports the entire IQFeed API. IQML works with the core Matlab; no toolbox is required. It works on all Matlab releases since R2008a, on both Windows and Mac, using IQFeed 5.0 or newer. IQML was developed independently as a commercial 3rd-party product; it is not affiliated with MathWorks or DTN. The connector is actively maintained and supported. Main features:

Novice Questions: tick or minute data, Lev2 historical, linux headless launching Jan 5, 2019 10:00 AM
(Total replies: 2)
Q1) IQFeed has a very handy feature called "streaming derivative data", which means you can request a stream of 1-minute data bars. This provides you with both historic and ongoing (streaming data), avoiding the need to construct such bars by yourself. Details: http://www.iqfeed.net/dev/api/docs/Derivatives_Overview.cfm and http://www.iqfeed.net/dev/api/docs/Derivatives_StreamingIntervalBars_TCPIP.cfm Q2) AFAIK, Level-2 (market-depth) data is only available as live streaming data, not historical. Q3) You don't need to turn the IQFeed client off - simply disconnecting your program from the client will do this automatically - once the client sees that it has no active connections, it automatically exits. I'll let other answer the part of your question related to launching the client. BTW, I think this part of the question warrants a dedicated thread.

Timezone of timestamps Nov 19, 2018 04:05 AM
(Total replies: 1)
The documentation says that IQFeed timestamps are always specified in "Eastern" timezone. Please clarify whether this means that for all timestamps (in both query parameters and returned data) the timezone is:
The reason for this clarification request is a hunch that there might be a 1-hour discrepancy between the reported timestamp and the data contents of historic tick data (HTT) for @ES# ticks from Chicago (UTC-6 or EST-1). In other words, an HTT query for historic BeginDate/Time of H reports back data with a timestamp of H but data content that seems to match Chicago time H, not New York time H (or perhaps EDT instead of EST, or vice versa). Naturally, there are 3 possibilities here:

Streaming / Derivative data not working Oct 24, 2018 01:07 AM
(Total replies: 5)
Steve - I believe that I got confused with the historic interval bars mechanism, i.e. apparently I used larger interval sizes only with historic bars, but smaller sizes with live bars. Since the documentation of historic and streaming bars was exactly the same, I naturally assumed that they use the same back-end processing mechanism, and so they got merged in my mind into a single mechanism. I understand the limitation on a streaming daily bar, but I suggest that you remove the restrictions on smaller interval sizes, so that (for example) it would be possible to request streaming bars of 1.5, 3, 4 or 5 hours. Separately, it would be very useful if you could improve the reported error message, which currently simply states "INVALID PARAMETERS FOR BW REQUEST". It is sometimes hard to understand which parameter caused a query rejection. It would be helpful to know which parameter is at fault ("Invalid parameter IntervalSize for BW request"), and even better to know the reason ("Invalid parameter IntervalSize for BW request: must be <300, or 300-3600 in multiples of 60, or 7200"). This suggestion applies to many other query types as well, which return a generic rejection error message.

I see the same buggy behavior as you do. This query used to work well until recently. In fact, it was just a month ago that the documentation was modified to reflect that "Second interval values must be 1 or greater and less than 1 day (86400)".

Thanks for updating the doc page with the updated response messages Tim. Could you also please comment regarding the NearMonths issue? i.e. is the fact that in practice values higher than 4 (as high as 30 for SPX for example) work an unsupported feature that should not be relied on, or perhaps it only works in certain exchanges/secTypes/accounts, etc.?
