Mike, 1. That's correct for the moment but I plan to add 'mixed' mode
2. IQFeed backfill speeds have been improved very much with recent IQFeed changes to server software as well as to the API itself. Backfills from IQFeed support also longer histories now (8+ months). And current IQFeed plugin implements the same "chunked" update mode as eSignal one so todays "chunk" of data appears quickly while past days are successively downloaded and displayed. I also talked with IQFeed and they plan to add second time stamps and pre/after market hour backfill which were the only two features that I missed.
