"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

"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

Author	Topic: Wrong date format in L2 update message (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
lz -Interested User- Posts: 2 Joined: Feb 15, 2024	Posted: Feb 17, 2024 02:53 AM Msg. 1 of 4 While processing older data history, I came across a case where instead of the date there was only a number 20: 2,@ES#,MD01,3210.25,3210.5,178,99,15:59:13.253701,20,52,15:59:13.223699,T,T,T, For example, one of the previous messages before this one was as expected: 2,@ES#,MD01,3210.25,3210.5,177,99,15:59:13.187790,2020-07-28,52,15:59:13.223699,T,T,T, as we can see, there is a date in the correct format: 2020-07-28. Data were obtained using protocol 6.1. If I look at the documentation on L2 update message for protocol 6.1: https://www.iqfeed.net/dev/api/docs/docs61/Level2UpdateSummaryMessage.cfm There is a date format CCYY-MM-DD exactly at the position of the occurrence of the number 20. Can you please correct me if I missed something in the documentation?

As far as we know, this kind of behavior should no longer be happening in the current version (6.2.0.25). You can get it from https://www.iqfeed.net/dev/api.cfm.
