"I've never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.

"Everything is working great with the API. I love it." - Comment from Calvin

"I used to have *******, but they are way more money for the same thing. I have had no probs with data from DTN since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"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. That was about one of the fastest integrations that I've ever done and it works perfectly!!!!" - Comment from Jason 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

"I have been using IQFeed now for a few years in MultiCharts and I have zero complaints. Very, very rare to have any data hiccups or anything at all go wrong." - Comment from Public Forum

"You are much better than lawyers or the phone company because you answer the phone when I call! I just love your customer service." - Comment from Isreal

"With HUGE volume on AAPL and RIMM for 2 days, everyone in a trading room was whining about freezes, crashes and lag with *******, RealTick, TS and Cyber. InvestorRT with IQFeed was rock solid. I mean SOLID!" - Comment from Public IRC Chat

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

"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

Author	Topic: Is it possible to get daily historical data including current day? (2 messages, Page 1 of 1)
khandrey -Interested User- Posts: 1 Joined: Feb 3, 2022	Posted: Feb 3, 2022 08:56 PM Msg. 1 of 2 Hello. I'm requesting historical daily data on Wednesday, 2023/02/02 using command like: HDT,AA,20220131,20230202,15000,1,TEST,25000 If today is 2023/02/02 I will get data only for 2023/01/31 and 2023/02/01. Is it possible to get data for current day 2023/02/02 (if trading starts) with OHLC data on requesting time like we get it in HIT request?

In fact, daily historical requests include partial days' data by default in protocol 6.1 and later. You don't say what time it was on 2023/02/02 when you made this request. But daily history prices only take into consideration last-qualified trades. (Daily volume includes all tradeds.) On top of that, data is assigned to days in terms of what trading day they are considered to belong to, which may not be the calendar day on which the trade happened. For example, pre-trading on Sunday night is considered a part of Monday's business. So any volume that accumulates during that time will be considered part of Monday. (This is called "Day Code" in the historical tick data.) So your command will actually return partial data for today. I think the problem in your case was that "today" hadn't started yet. The markets officially opened about 10 minutes ago, and if I send your command now, I get this: HDT,AA,20220131,20230204,15000,1,TEST,25000 TEST,LH,2022-01-31,57.0200,55.0200,56.9400,56.7100,7206053,0, TEST,LH,2022-02-01,58.4400,56.7300,57.9900,58.1700,5939348,0, TEST,LH,2022-02-02,59.5850,57.2500,58.1900,59.2100,5613758,0, TEST,LH,2022-02-03,63.3600,58.3300,58.9000,62.7400,8076610,0, TEST,LH,2022-02-04,64.0699,61.8800,62.2600,63.8890,645149,0, TEST,!ENDMSG!, Today is 02-04, and you can see the partial daily datapoint for the day that just started a few minutes ago. It is also possible to omit partial daily data points, by putting a 0 in the IncludePartialDatapoint parameter: HDT,AA,20220131,20230204,15000,1,TEST,25000,0 TEST,LH,2022-01-31,57.0200,55.0200,56.9400,56.7100,7206053,0, TEST,LH,2022-02-01,58.4400,56.7300,57.9900,58.1700,5939348,0, TEST,LH,2022-02-02,59.5850,57.2500,58.1900,59.2100,5613758,0, TEST,LH,2022-02-03,63.3600,58.3300,58.9000,62.7400,8076610,0, TEST,!ENDMSG!, And no partial bar for today is created.
