Hello, since by paying that small fee for iqfeed data we have access to market news, previous values, expected values and results by tick , do you think that would be awesome to retrieve that data to the imported dataset too ?
Algorithms would develop in a much more true reality of market and results would be more constructive .

BTW the package is awesome !

I'm trying to pull tick data for ES from IQfeed through my trial account:

QuantTools_settings(settings = list(iqfeed_host = 'localhost',iqfeed_port = '9100', iqfeed_verbose = FALSE))

from = '2017-07-01'
to = '2017-07-03'
symbol = '@es#'

options(digits.secs = 4)

Request data

test <- get_iqfeed_data(symbol, from, to, period = 'tick')

I'm not able to get bid and ask sizes through the package:

head(test)
time price volume size bid ask tick_id basis_for_last trade_market_center trade_conditions

Could you advise on how I can modify the query to get best bid and ask sizes? Thanks!
