    Hi,
    Does anyone have access to the IQFeed API by any chance? I have one small question regarding one application that I am working on to download historical data but would like to avoid having to pay $360/year...

    Thanks

    You can't afford to trade.

  3. If you want free, google and yahoo are pretty much your choices.

    I was just wondering if it was possible to download historical ticks (trades and quotes) from IQFeed using their API but it seems that only trades are available and not quotes.
    I already have a subscription to IQFeed.

    There is an iqfeed version of qcollector at http://www.mechtrading.com/qcollector/dtn/index.htm

    Edit: It says you can download ticks. What do you mean by quotes?

    Sure you are. What the request you send for subscription?
