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

"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

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

"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

"I've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from Public Forum

"I would just like to say that IQFeed version 4 is running very well and I am very happy with its performance. I would also like to extend a big thanks for the fast and efficient help that I always receive. My questions and concerns are always addressed promptly. Way to go!" - Comment from Josh in CO.

"I was with ******* for 4 years at $230 a month, this is a huge savings for me, GOD BLESS YOU PEOPLE," - Comment from T.S. via Email

"If you want customer service that answers the phone, your best bet is IQFeed. I cannot stop praising them or their technical support. They are always there for you, and they are quick. I have used ****** too but the best value is IQFeed." - Comment from Public Forum

Author	Topic: api to determine what options for an underlying traded during the day. (5 messages, Page 1 of 1)
Larry jag -Interested User- Posts: 31 Joined: Dec 28, 2015	Posted: Mar 30, 2017 08:33 PM Msg. 1 of 5 Is there an easy way to determine if an option traded for an underlying during the day, without actually having to download the tick or daily data for that option for the day? ie, AAPL has A LOT of options... Not all options have a trade during the day. Right now, in order to determine what was traded, I have to download all the option symbols for AAPL, then download the tick data for those symbols to see the daily trades. Is there a better way to do this? I guess I can try to filter out the trades by downloading the DAILY data for each option, and if there is any data, I can assume tick data is avail for that option, and then download the tick data...but I still have to look at the history of all option symbols for AAPL... which in both cases, takes a while. It would be nice to have an API that helps with this. ie a CEO command with a date, and it will return true/false or the # of trades made for the chain returned.

We do have some updates coming in the foreseeable future though that may help solve your issue in a slightly different way, so I will get those details out to you as we get closer to a beta release.

arturo didonna -Interested User- Posts: 22 Joined: Oct 10, 2008	Posted: May 6, 2018 12:30 AM Msg. 3 of 5 I agree that this is a very good idea, especially if also a minimum amount of traded money could be parametrized, i.e., get all the options that today traded more than 50000 USD. I was wondering if you guys are still considering implementing such a feature. Thanks for your consideration.

So you should be able to create something to parse out the values you care about without much trouble. We may be able to build in the filtering for you, but it would be in a subsequent release I think. We'll get it on the books for you though. As to the time frame for the first poster, within the next month or two is probably reasonable to expect. Thanks for the idea and your business. Tim
