The INTC data looks normal to me. Not every trade has an aggressor, but most do. Can you give me an example of a request you did where there were a large number of zeroes in that field? By the way, make sure you are sending S,SET PROTOCOL 6.1 if you want to see the trade aggressor. All earlier protocols, including the default 4.9, don't even have the Trade Aggressor field.

The API will currently show 0 as the trade aggressor for all trades on equity symbols, because the equity exchanges currently do not return Trade Aggressor data. The IQFeed apps do have a "bid/ask at trade" data point, which is based on whether the bid or ask matches the price of the trade. For exchanges that do provide trade aggressor data, this will be a 1 for the buyer, 2 for the seller, and 3 for neither.
