"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

"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email

"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

"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom

"You have an excellent feed. Very few spikes for Spot Forex." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"I ran your IQFeed DDE vs. my broker vs. a level II window for some slow-moving options. I would see the level II quote change, then your feed update instantaneously. My broker's DDE, however, would take as much as 30 seconds to update. I am not chasing milliseconds, but half a minute is unacceptable." - Comment from Rob

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

"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

"And by the way, have to say this. I love the IQFeed software. It's rock solid and it has a really nice API." - Comment from Thomas via RT Chat

"I've been using IQFeed 4 in a multi-threaded situation for the last week or two on 2600 symbols or so with 100 simultaneous daily charts, and I have had 100% responsiveness." - Comment from Scott

Author	Topic: Intraday Quotes without gaps (6 messages, Page 1 of 1)
paddy_85 -Interested User- Posts: 6 Joined: May 7, 2015	Posted: Nov 28, 2015 03:56 PM Msg. 1 of 6 Hi, Would it be possible to get quotes without gaps for historical intra day data? As I'm trying to manually fill in the gaps in the data for my chart data but I'm not sure if its 100% accurate. Do you have a recommend approach to this problem or can you please add it as an option in the API request. Thanks, Patrick

What would you want to see there? Displaying a price would indicate a trade happened and throw off studies. for most people I would expect this would be an issue, so could you please give me a little more detail and then I can get your request documented for you. Tim

Ideally adding bars for gaps between market hours only. This would make creating charts easier for stocks like BNSO where there is a lot of gaps in the data. Cheers, Patrick

Our job is to provide trade and quote data. Unfortunately, this often means charts don't "look" good if there are trades that happen outside of a normal trading range or if an instrument isn't actively traded. But we aren't here to make the data look good, we try to provide accurate data that allows traders to analyze it according to their trading style. We leave it up to the charting software to determine how the data should be displayed. Some charts will show gaps in time when there was no trading activity, others will remove the gaps so the data looks sequential, and I would guess some software may have options to duplicate bars (I am not personally familiar with any software that does this but I'm sure there is something out there).
