"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
"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

"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

Thanks for your response.

Here's my log file. I also had trouble connecting as you can see. It is always pretty slow, however last night was the slowest I've ever seen it. In the past (on 05/03/07), 1 day has taken from 8:34 to 9:15 PM just as an example. I do not run the same batch every night, I pull up a list of stocks based on criteria & run it when I have time that day (always after 7PM):

Hello. I downloaded 360 symbols, intraday tick data for 2 days last night. I started at 9:53 PM, and it didn't finish until 11:47 PM. Nothing was wrong w/my internet connection; it was fast. Any idea why downloading historical data is so slow?

IQFeed Developer Support » Backwards History Mar 12, 2007 08:10 PM (Total replies: 14)

I have resolved the backwards history issue (I haven't seen it since I re-wrote my code to use the historylookup2)...thanks again for your help.

I am still having issues w/connecting to the History Socket though. This happens almost every time I try to pull history on at least 1 symbol out of 200 or so. There doesn't seem to be a common time or symbol pattern...it appears to be random. I am using the new developer build.

Here's an example from my log today (EST time):

3/12/2007 7:17:11 PM Unable to connect to minute history socket
3/12/2007 7:17:21 PM download failed for BRCM

IQFeed Developer Wish List » Feature Requests Feb 20, 2007 11:08 PM (Total replies: 0)

Thanks for offering such a wonderful product & for taking the time to continue to improve it! It would be great to have the following features:

1. The ability to watch symbols in minute bar intervals (1,5,10,etc.) instead of having to compress the tick data from w/in my program.

Thanks!

So this is the IHistoryLookup2 then? And it will be supported in all future releases?

Thanks for your help....

IQFeed Developer Support » Backwards History Feb 2, 2007 04:01 PM (Total replies: 14)

How can I modify my app to use the newer interface? Is this a different method I need to call? That would be great until the new release comes out....

I really don't have a set time...it's usually anywhere from 5:30 EST to 1 AM EST. Are there certain times I should avoid?

I do have some logging in my app; here are some recent examples (EST Time) (my internet is connected at the time it can't connect to the history server, i can log in to IQFeed just fine..):

It seems like it happens when I'm having trouble connecting to the history socket....would that push me to a different server where I would get the older reversed data?

IQFeed Developer Support » Backwards History Feb 2, 2007 02:34 PM (Total replies: 14)

I run request every day after 4 PM for a certain set of stocks that meet my volume & price criteria. The list doesn't change that often since I'm dealing w/high volume stocks. It's always 1 min...not tick data or anything else.

It is the Beta version...

IQFeed Developer Support » Backwards History Feb 2, 2007 02:14 PM (Total replies: 14)

It's version 4.2.0.3.

I have an array of symbols. I loop though each & request the history. I wait until it's done w/one, then pause my app for 200 milliseconds (this seemed to help). Then, I call the next symbol & so on. It's usually about 153 symbols total.

Thanks for your response. I am using Build 865.7 from 12/21/06.

I declare the following:
Public WithEvents hlookup As DTNHISTORYLOOKUPLib.HistoryLookup

Then call:
hlookup.RequestMinuteHistory("AAPL", 1, 1)

Then I process the bar data in this event:
Private Sub hlookup_MinuteCompleted(ByVal lMinutesLoaded As Integer, ByVal aTime As Object, ByVal aOpen As Object, _
ByVal aClose As Object, ByVal aHigh As Object, ByVal aLow As Object, ByVal aVolume As Object, ByVal aIntVolume As Object) Handles hlookup.MinuteCompleted

Hello,

Once and a while when I pull data from the History socket it comes back reversed. My code is EXACTLY the same, this only happens maybe once a week. I've also been having trouble connecting lately, and receive the following error in my log file "Unable to connect to minute history socket". Below is an example of the reversed data - any idea why this is happening?:
