"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
"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
"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

This is because 1 second data is based upon tick data, tick data is limited to 8 days during market hours. Where as 3600 seconds can be inferred from minute data which does not have this restriction.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that time limit, for some reason I thought per/second data was available for the past half-year.

Thanks!

It is, but just not during market hours, try after 3:30 CST and you should be fine.

Thanks Tim,

BTW, I see volume numbers in the HIT data. Are they meaningful and if so what is the meaning?

Zane

PS. IqFeed is awesome, thanks to all!

In regards to minute data, it represents the sum of all last qualified and form T trades for the period given. Other trades are omitted from this number.
