I have subscriptions to NYSE & NASDAQ, yet I notice I can get delayed ES futures quotes and download ES historical data. Yet I can't get Forex delayed or historical data. What are the rules for accessing historical data for exchanges to which one doesn't have a subscription?

Good morning,

Historical permissions mirror the live permissions for our system. Since Forex is a premium service only it is unavailable for historical recovery without subscription. @ES is available at a delayed level by default on most subscriptions so history older that 15 minutes is available to you through that default packaging. You would need real time @ES to receive up to the second minute and tick history.

Tim

So everything that is *not* premium should be available for historical download.

I don't work with the packaging team all that often, so I won't claim that to be fact, but unless you have a limited subscription, like a Forex only account, I think that would be true.

Craig,
With the IQFeed core service, you can see delayed data and history on most exchanges, which is why you are able to see ES. However, that's not true of all exchanges. Notable exceptions are NYMEX and COMEX, which charge $1/month each for their delayed data. Also, most exchanges charge a small fee for their index data, delayed or otherwise. If you would like more information on the data you receive with your subscription, or if you have pricing questions on adding additional exchanges/services, you may want to contact our sales team directly by phone (800-475-4755), chat, or email (sales@iqfeed.net).
