"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

"Thanks for following up with me. You guys do a great job in tech support." - Comment from Phelps

"IQ feed works very well, does not have all of the normal interruptions I have grown used to on *******" - Comment from Mark

"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

"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

"I just wanted to let u know that your data feed/service is by far the best!!! Your unfiltered tick data is excellent for reading order flow and none of your competitors delivers this quality of data!" - Comment from Peter via Email

"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

"Everything is working great ! Very impressive client. The news refreshes better and is more pertinent than the ******* feed I paid $ 100/month for. I Also like the charts a lot." - Comment from Leon

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

"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

Author	Topic: Different numbers of ticks, streaming vs HTT (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
JoshSN -Interested User- Posts: 29 Joined: Apr 8, 2010	Posted: Apr 5, 2013 12:41 PM Msg. 1 of 4 My example is for the symbol CA, from [10:00:00 to 10:01:00) this morning. When running live, I found 1142 Q,CA messages. When using the historical data, HTT, I found only 272. Over a longer time period, the 10 minutes from [10:00:00 to 10:10:00), I see 611 ticks from HTT and about 1093 Q,CA messages. I have two files containing the data from each, if you would like me to attach them. Why would this be happening?

My guess is that you are not properly filtering trades messages in the streaming feed. Having the files would probably the be the easiest way to explain the difference. Feel free to either attach them or email them to developer support.

In order to match historical data, you will need to filter out only the trade messages. It looks like there is only about 240 trades in that file. The Last Trade Time field has a character identifier to indicate if the message contains bid/ask or trade information.
