"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

"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

"I started a trial a few weeks back before the market went wild. DTN.IQ didn’t miss anything and beat my other provider. I decided to stay with you because of the great service through all the volatility." - Comment from Mike

"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

"DTN feed was the only feed that consistently matched Bloomberg feed for BID/ASK data verification work these past years......DTN feed is a must for my supply & demand based trading using Cumulative Delta" - Comment from Public Forum Post

"Just a thank you for the very helpful and prompt assistance and services. You provided me with noticeably superior service in my setup compared to a couple of other options I had looked at." - Comment from John

"I am a hedge fund manager here. It’s funny, I have a Bloomberg terminal and a Bridge feed, but I still like having my DTN feed!" - Comment from Feras

"I used to have *******, but they are way more money for the same thing. I have had no probs with data from DTN since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"It’s so nice to be working with real professionals!" - Comment from Len

Author	Topic: Accuracy of Historical data on stocks (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
Kares -Interested User- Posts: 26 Joined: Aug 18, 2004	Posted: Jan 29, 2005 08:32 PM Msg. 1 of 4 I am successfully downloading 15 minute historical data for stocks. The problem is that I don't believe the data I am downloading. I get highs and lows that exceed the day's high and low prices for the stock. It happens several times per day within the 15 minute periods. Is there any explanation for this behavior? I assume that the high and low are for the 15 minute period for which I download data. Specifically, I am seeing problems with INTC. Here are some data values: 1/18/2005 4:15:00 PM,22.94,22.95,22.93,22.94,653363 1/19/2005 9:45:00 AM,22.96,22.97,20.96,22.81,5255214 1/19/2005 10:00:00 AM,22.8021,22.81,22.74,22.77,3088427 The data displayed is: time, open, high, low, close. Notice the value of 20.96 for the low for the 15 minute period. This is only one of many examples of bad data in this data download. I am comparing what I see with quotes posted in the Wall Street Journal. Kary Ball

This is one of the things that will be reduced when we have the tick correction implementation live in the servers. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.

We expect it to be released by end of first quarter. Other Quote services have varying degrees and approaches to Tick correction, but most do have it.
