"I just wanted to let you know how fast and easy I found it to integrate IQFeed into our existing Java code using your JNI client. In my experience, such things almost never go so smoothly - great job!" - Comment from Nate
"This beats the pants off CQG, I am definitely switching to the ProphetX 3.0!" - Comment from Stephen
"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
"With HUGE volume on AAPL and RIMM for 2 days, everyone in a trading room was whining about freezes, crashes and lag with *******, RealTick, TS and Cyber. InvestorRT with IQFeed was rock solid. I mean SOLID!" - Comment from Public IRC Chat
"Excellent datafeed !!!" - Comment from Arely
"Everything is working great with the API. I love it." - Comment from Calvin
"Interactive Brokers tick data was inconsistent, so I have switched to using DTN exclusively. It is great to no longer have to worry about my datafeed all day long." - Comment from Philippe
"I just wanted to say how happy I am with your service. I was able to download the API docs last week and I was able to replicate Interactive Brokers historical bar queries and realtime bar queries over the weekend. That was about one of the fastest integrations that I've ever done and it works perfectly!!!!" - Comment from Jason via Email
"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
"Very impressed with the quality of your feed - ******* is a real donkey in comparison." - Comment from A.C. via Email

IQFeed Developer Support » Order or historic requests May 6, 2005 10:08 AM (Total replies: 3)

When I request historic tick data I get the data in reverse time order. That is, for example,

The ticks will have timestamps like so:
16:00:00
15:59:00
15:58:00

etc.

Is it possible to download them in ascending timestamp order?


What is meant by "regional" exchanges? I am also trying to get data at second level for past tick data for highly trades stocks such as MSFT. I can only get at the minute level. I am using the TCP to connect to the iqfeed.


How do I automate the login process with in my code?
Does it involve com programming?
Can you give me an example?


I would like to automate downloading historical data.
I do not want to be asked userid and password when I download the data.
I would like to download data after close every day.

Is there a way to automate this?


I found out that it is pretty simple. I was not able to get historical data before because after using registerclientapp function I was using the statement
SOCKET iqSocket;
struct sockaddr_in addr;
addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
addr.sin_port = htons( 9100 );
addr.sin_addr.S_un.S_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
memset(&addr.sin_zero, 0, sizeof(addr.sin_zero));

connect( iqSocket(struct sockaddr*)&addr,sizeof(addr))
// connect to the server
send( iqSocket,"S,KEY\r\n", 7, 0); // Should NOT be using this statement.

and then doing
char iqCommand[ 15 ];
memset( iqCommand, 0, sizeof( iqCommand ) );
strcpy( iqCommand, "HD,IBM,5;" );

send( iqSocket, iqCommand, static_cast<int>( strlen( iqCommand ) ), 0 );
The statement
send( iqSocket,"S,KEY\r\n", 7, 0);
seems to have somehow not get the historical data. After removing this statement I do get historical data.


I am having problem downloading historical data using TCP/IP in Visual C++.
I do not see any example of this in the sample files I got from IQFEED.
I need a complete but simple example showing me how exactly to go about doing this
in a console application.
