"Everything is working great ! Very impressive client. The news refreshes better and is more pertinent than the ******* feed I paid $ 100/month for. I Also like the charts a lot." - Comment from Leon

"Everything is working amazing now. I'm already impressed with the true-tick feed of IQFeed and it's ability to support my 480 symbol layout." - Comment from Tyler via Email

"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

"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

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

karthikkrishnan -Interested User- Posts: 22 Joined: Nov 4, 2015	Posted: May 19, 2020 05:54 PM Msg. 1 of 10 I am notice some extreme outliers in tick data. For example INTC on. 2020/03/24 as attached. While it is possible for such extreme black swans, I want to make sure if this is not due to some error in feed. For example, these extremes are also happening on very low volume. So just making sure. Can you confirm ? File Attached: intc.png (downloaded 919 times)

DTN_Stephen -DTN Guru- Posts: 453 Joined: Aug 22, 2014	Posted: May 20, 2020 08:33 AM Msg. 9 of 10 karthikkrishnan I believe we spoke in chat this morning and I provided a complete explanation of this trade. However I will recap it here in the forums for all readers. The trade in question was a Trade Condition: ODDLOT/CASH with an INC Volume 1. This trade was non-last qualifying trade that did not set a new low for the date of 3/24/20. Symbol: INTC 09:55:13.986418 2020-03-24 49.5800 1 52.9200 52.9300 6246194 0 0 7317 Other Trade NTRF ODDLOT/CASH https://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/oddlot.asp What is an Odd Lot? An odd lot is an order amount for a security that is less than the normal unit of trading for that particular asset. Odd lots are considered to be anything less than the standard 100 shares for stocks. Trading commissions for odd lots are generally higher on a percentage basis than those for standard lots, since most brokerage firms have a fixed minimum commission level for undertaking such transactions. Understanding Odd Lots Odd lots may inadvertently arise in an investor's portfolio through reverse splits or dividend reinvestment plans. For example, a one-for-eight reverse split of a security, of which the investor holds 200 shares, will result in a post-split amount of 25 shares. While trading commissions for odd lots may still be higher than for standard lots on a percentage basis, the popularity of online trading platforms and the consequent plunge in brokerage commissions means that it is no longer as difficult or expensive for investors to dispose of odd lots as it used to be in the past.
