If you query IQFeed for AAPL minute bars between 6/16 and 7/1 there is a void for example. I also see voids with IBM, C, GS to name a few. ES...
This is a major issue IMO. Never had a problem with them before this. I queried AAPL from 6/16-7/1, no data. They should send out notification to...

Mirus is great, no problems yet. I place trades using NT free. I use IQFeed for my charting, rock solid product IMO.
