Change Log

Wealth-Lab 8 Build 11 - 2/10/2023
  • Upgrade to point to IQFeed protocol 6.2. This is a transitional upgrade without any functional changes - read: you don't need to upgrade.
  • If you do upgrade to version 11 and don't already have the IQFeed 6.2 Client installed from iqfeed.net, install it before upgrading to this version.
Wealth-Lab 8 Build 10 - 1/21/2023
  • Split resource update.
Wealth-Lab 8 Build 9 - 12/15/2022
  • Removed native provider support for intraday scales that don't end on the hour and half hour marks; e.g., 13 or 78 minute bars.
  • Scaling for these "odd" intervals will be performed by WealthLab using smaller intervals. We recommend deleting the IQFeed data folders for all "odd" intervals. See forum discussion starting from post #10 for more information.
Wealth-Lab 8 Build 8 - 12/8/2022
  • Split resource update - corrections to popular issues like MTCH, CPRT, INFY, ON. If in doubt, refresh intraday histories since some splits may have been applied twice.
Wealth-Lab 8 Build 7 - 11/25/2022
  • Show status messages during large data updates.
Wealth-Lab 8 Build 6 - 9/10/2022
  • Fixed volume for n-Second intervals; previously returned session cumulative volume.
Wealth-Lab 8 Build 5 - 9/1/2022
  • Fixed tick requests that were erroring out in some cases.
  • Fix - tick charts adjusted for market time zone, previously always Eastern time.
  • Fix - partial bars for markets that were not using Eastern Time.
  • BarHistory returns with the correct MarketDetails.
Wealth-Lab 8 Build 4 - 6/27/2022
  • Data Providers are now more careful about checking Offline Mode before making web requests (requires WL8 Build 10+).
Wealth-Lab 8 Build 3 - 5/26/2022
  • Fixed partial bar initialization for streaming. Background: IQFeed changed the way it timestamped the partial bar. The WL8 IQFeed provider will handle both timestamp behaviors in case it changes again.
Wealth-Lab 8 Build 2 - 5/13/2022
  • The embedded resource used to split older intraday histories was overlooked in the migration to Verison 8. Refresh intraday histories for split adjustments.
Wealth-Lab 8 Build 1 - 4/10/2022
  • Initial WL8 release.
Wealth-Lab 7 Build 18 - 2/17/2022
  • Changed request method back to date range to avoid requesting bars that are not required.
  • Skip unnecessary requests for expired futures contracts for which data is already cached if the contract expired more than 3 months ago (approximately).
Wealth-Lab 7 Build 17 - 1/28/2022
  • Changed method to request Daily bars to "Max Days" instead of using specific dates.
Wealth-Lab 7 Build 16 - 1/10/2022
  • Added a new IQFeed configuration option to enable parallel historical updates. Note: we had disabled parallel updates in IQFeed Build 10 due to excessive memory usage that could lead to crashes when updating large amounts of intraday data.
  • Added documentation for using fundamental values available from IQFeed to the Help (F1).
  • Added logic to create IQFutureSymbolSpecs.txt in the WealthLab7 User data folder. See Help for using these data.
Wealth-Lab 7 Build 15 - 12/21/2021
  • Changes to adapt to WL7 framework changes in Build 42.
Wealth-Lab 7 Build 14 - 12/15/2021
  • Fixed parsing error for specific records.
Wealth-Lab 7 Build 13 - 12/3/2021
  • Avoid requesting entire intraday history when a Max Bars Data Range is selected.
Wealth-Lab 7 Build 12 - 11/30/2021
  • Minor changes to take advantage of better data loading mechanisms in WL7 Build 37.
Wealth-Lab 7 Build 11 - 11/22/2021
  • Extend end date requests one day into the future to account for different time zones.
Wealth-Lab 7 Build 10 - 11/12/2021
  • Provider marked as not supporting parallel updates.
Wealth-Lab 7 Build 9 - 11/9/2021

Wealth-Lab 7 Build 8 - 10/21/2021
