"I've never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.

"Everything is working great with the API. I love it." - Comment from Calvin

"I used to have *******, but they are way more money for the same thing. I have had no probs with data from DTN since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"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

"If someone needs the best quality data and backfill beyond what their broker provides at a rate that is the best in the industry, I highly recommend IQFeed." - Comment from Josh via Public Forum

"I have been using IQFeed now for a few years in MultiCharts and I have zero complaints. Very, very rare to have any data hiccups or anything at all go wrong." - Comment from Public Forum

"You are much better than lawyers or the phone company because you answer the phone when I call! I just love your customer service." - Comment from Isreal

"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

"Very impressed with the quality of your feed - ******* is a real donkey in comparison." - Comment from A.C. via Email

"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

Author	Topic: two questions for futures (7 messages, Page 1 of 1)
uktrader -Interested User- Posts: 8 Joined: Aug 17, 2015	Posted: Aug 17, 2015 02:00 PM Msg. 1 of 7 I have two questions relating to futures data: 1.) Can we find the first notice/delivery dates for futures contracts using the IQFeed API? 2.) Streaming ticks include condition codes for the last trade. Is this data available for historical tick data as well?

Put me down as requesting first notice dates in a future version! :) I don't suppose you have them available anywhere else? I'm happy to clean the data up myself (for instance, scrape a website). Regarding the historical trade conditions, how do I get these? I'm using the ReqHistoryTickTimeframe function via the IHistoryLookup4 interface in the COM API, and I don't see condition codes in the response.

Please make sure you are setting your protocol to 5.1 before making your tick requests and I think you should see them then. Tim

I did notice that the protocol reported on the request data back is 5.0, not 5.1 as I expected after my call to change the version. Am I doing something wrong?

In the meantime could you send me a log via email so I can see if anything jumps out at me? It should be in My Docs\DTN\IQFeed\IQConnectLog.txt Tim
