"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

dis -Interested User- Posts: 24 Joined: Apr 16, 2007	Posted: Jun 4, 2007 10:23 AM Msg. 1 of 6 Suggestion is following: Raise an event in case when no data available for the requested interval. Now my calling thread is sleeping up to timeout (20 seconds - 1 minute for me). It would be great if the event would inform about it immediately. It is very important for my application. Many thanks for your consideration.

dis -Interested User- Posts: 24 Joined: Apr 16, 2007	Posted: Jun 8, 2007 07:07 AM Msg. 3 of 6 HistoryLookupClass.RequestMinuteHistory("MSFT", 1, 1); The situation reproduces if I'm doing such request on Monday morning (or holidays...), because there is no historical data.

You are experiencing a bug that is specific to the HistoryLookup interface. It does not exist in the HistoryLookup2 interface or in the sockets interface.

This does not require the changes in the interface.

I simply said that this interface is the only interface affected. The fact that the request takes a LONG time to return an error in the given scenario, IS the bug. It is due to a combonation of factors involving the communication with the servers. It will be fixed in an upcomming release of IQFeed.
