Can you explain (in newbie terms please - I'm only asking out of curiosity) why my TICK (JTNT.Z) data starts right at the ES market open but it takes about 1 minute for the S&P Net Issues (JI6T.Z) to begin?
Thanks,

When we started calculating stats 20+ years ago we configured any that are ratios (TRIN, etc) and those requiring data from multiple exchanges (S&P, Dow, etc) to display at 9:31 EST to allow time for stocks on those exchanges to trade.
I've just downloaded the newest version of IQ (5.0.13?)
There is something called Link Launcher, which I assume is some Excel tool as it launches a big red DDE app in the start bar.
Can you provide a link to a manual or online description of how to use this - I cant see anything on the IQfeed website. It would be pretty useful if I could download quotes directly into Excel.
Click here for a tutorial on DDE Link. If you use Excel regularly, consider a software designed to move IQFeed into Excel efficiently and with more functionality, such as QuoteIN or QCollector.
By the way, we have released IQFeed ver 5.0.0.14 which fixes an issue for SC users of all pre/post market quotes showing 4:00 timestamp.
I have started an IQFeed free trial last week and I have been testing it.
My broker is IB and I am currently using Sierra Chart.
Up to now I am finding IQFeed very good. It is notorious the difference of speed on the tape and the accuracy on the charts.
However, there is something very strange when comparing Time & Sales data with both data feeds (IB and IQ T&S windows) side by side: there are no high volume trades registered with IQFeed.
For example on CL, with IQFeed the individual trade volume is very low – very rarely more than 20, 30 contracts – while with IB data feed we can observe very often trades with hundreds, even thousands of contracts.
