"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.

Is it possible to get fractions of a second timestamps for tick data? I do this:

HTT,@NQU19,20190620 000000,20190620 170500,,,,1,,

And I see:

2019-06-20 16:05:38,7766.50,1,492761,7766.50,7766.75,232575516,0,0,C,
2019-06-20 16:05:38,7766.50,1,492762,7766.50,7766.75,232575518,0,0,C,

2019-06-20 16:05:38,7766.50,1,492764,7766.50,7766.75,232575521,0,0,C,
2019-06-20 16:05:38,7766.50,1,492765,7766.50,7766.75,232575522,0,0,C,
2019-06-20 16:05:38,7766.50,3,492768,7766.25,7766.50,232575523,0,0,C,
2019-06-20 16:05:38,7766.50,1,492769,7766.25,7766.50,232575523,0,0,C,
2019-06-20 16:05:38,7766.50,1,492770,7766.25,7766.50,232575523,0,0,C,

I was under the impression timestamps went down to microseconds...

My hunch is that you are not setting the protocol when you first connect to IQFeed, which then defaults to IQFeed 4.9 behavior. When I run your query using protocol 5.0 I see millisecond timestamp resolution, and with protocol 6.0 or 6.1 I see microsecs resolution.

BINGO! My mistake was I just connected and sent my command. I needed to send the "S,SET PROTOCOL,6.0" command immediately after connection. Works now!

Thanks!
