Taken from the IQ Feed website:
8 calendar days of tick (every trade) and 120 calendar days interval (1 minute or larger intervals) history retrieval for charting and time & sales data

Yes, I tested pulling up a chart and specifying 3 months of minute data. Data went back as far as Oct 12th.Yes, please check the data ranges you're trying to request as Chris says.
I just requested a reasonable amount of minutes back and got the chart all right.
However, why should I have to chart a symbol to get it's history? Shouldn't QM be downloadinging everything that's available?

Had no problem downloading 125 days of minutes for that symbol; as regards the general question:
We consider adding it but so far the only way to gather history is chart it; setting the symbol to Online will gather data beginning from the date it's connected.
- that is because we do not yet have a scheduler/downloader component.However, why should I have to chart a symbol to get it's history? Shouldn't QM be downloading everything that's available?
