"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
"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
"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

IQFeed Developer Support » No Bid/Ask Sizes for Forex Feb 1, 2016 07:53 AM (Total replies: 4)

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to get the real lot size, but I guess I can do without.

IQFeed Developer Support » No Bid/Ask Sizes for Forex Feb 1, 2016 03:46 AM (Total replies: 4)

The Level 1 feed for Forex symbols, e.g. EURUSD.FXCM, never reports the Bid Size or Ask Size. (I'm using Protocol 5.2.)

E.g.:

SELECT UPDATE FIELDS Symbol, Bid,Bid Size,Bid Time, Ask,Ask Size,Ask Time, Extended Trade Date,Message Contents
...
P,EURUSD.FXCM,1.08560,,03:39:46.925000,1.08564,,03:39:46.925000,02/01/2016,Cba,
Q,EURUSD.FXCM,1.08561,,03:39:47.211000,1.08564,,03:39:47.211000,02/01/2016,Cba,
Q,EURUSD.FXCM,1.08562,,03:39:47.369000,1.08564,,03:39:47.369000,02/01/2016,Cba,
Q,EURUSD.FXCM,1.08562,,03:39:47.391000,1.08565,,03:39:47.391000,02/01/2016,Cba,

This shows that the Bid/Ask Prices are present, but not the Sizes.


Another problem (a smaller one) is that for Forex, the 'Message Contents' field always contains "ba", indicating that both the Bid and Ask have changed. But in fact, often they haven't changed at all. This problem, too, can be seen in the lines above. E.g., in lines 3-4, the Bid Price is the same (1.08562), but despite this line #4 contains "b" in the Message Contents field. (Perhaps this is related to the fact that the Bid/Ask Sizes are missing?)

So my questions are:
1. How can I get the Bid/Ask Sizes?
2. Could you fix the spurious 'b'/'a' indicators? (I can ignore them, of course, but it would be better if they were set correctly in the first place.)

Thanks,
Oren

This problem just happened again. I got this line:

Z,GOOG,NSDQ,0.,698.9,0,3,04:49:20.059833,2016-01-14,52,99:99:99.000000,F,T,T,

This line claims that AskValid=True, but AskTime=99:99:99.000000, which is an invalid value.
