"I was on the phone with a friend who uses CQG and right after the Fed announcement, CQG was as much as 30 seconds behind DTN.IQ. Some quotes were off by as much as 15-18 cents. Your feed never missed a beat." - Comment from Roger

"Previously I was using *******. IQFeed is WAY more economical, and for my charting needs is just as good, if not better." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"I have been using IQFeed now for a few years in MultiCharts and I have zero complaints. Very, very rare to have any data hiccups or anything at all go wrong." - Comment from Public Forum

"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

"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

"After all the anxiety I had with my previous data provider it is a relief not to have to worry about data speed and integrity." - Comment from Eamonn

"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

"Thank you so much - awesome feed, awesome service!" - Comment from Greg via Email

"I've never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.

"I noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable." - Comment from Ron in Utah

Author	Topic: Timestamps on historical data (7 messages, Page 1 of 1)
Dierk Droth -Interested User- Posts: 67 Joined: Aug 11, 2004	Posted: Aug 31, 2004 05:06 AM Msg. 1 of 7 Hi, I just downloaded historical data (1-minute bars) for MSFT on 2004-08-30 (yesterday). The frist bar has a timestamp of 09:32, the last bar 16:01. This suggests that 1 minute has to be subtracted (since the trading session goes from 09:00 to 16:00). Here are my questions: - Do I have to subtract 1 minute from the timestamp of 1-minute bar historical data ? - Is this true for any instrument (stocks, futures ...) on any exchange, or will this apply only to a selected subset ? - Does the historical data only hold "in-session" data or include before and after hour trades also ?
