No. My last contact with them was maybe three months ago. At the time they kept promising a new version and said that they will not be testing the existing version with IQFeed 5x

I guess they changed their mind since...

Thanks

Hi!

Since the folks at NinjaTrader have been very unhelpful, and their promised new release is very very late, I am trying to get some answers from the IQFeed community.

Basically the question is simple: is it safe to use NinjaTrader7 with the latest version of IQFeed (5.1) at the time of the question. I am currently on the latest "officially supported" release for NinjaTrader and have been reluctant to upgrade to the latest IQfeed release without confirmation from NinjaTrader about compatibility. But I've sort of lost hope of ever getting that from them, and any custom code I have is severely held back as I cannot use any of the new features.

So is it safe to take the risk and upgrade to IQfeed 5.1 even though it is not "officially supported" by NinjaTrader?

Thanks for any input.

Thanks. That's helpful, at least for manual use. Automated parsing of it seems a bit of an overkill for me right now.

I am using IQConnect with custom code (in Java). I have a nightly process that backfills data that I missed during the day for whatever reasons. To do this I use the lookup calls to get tick data for symbols on a list I manage.

Occasionally one or more of these symbols would have a symbol change (example - the recent change of WFMI to WFM). At that point my calls start blowing up, returning an error message "Invalid symbol". This happens even if I ask for data in dates prior to the symbol change. Presumably I need to use the new symbol even for days when it did not really exist yet.

I know how to get splits (or at least some of them) via fundamentals messages. Is there any API that would allow me to get symbol change info?
