Consider using my IQML (IQFeed-Matlab) connector for this. IQML enables both synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous (background) queries for multiple symbols, that are fetched either serially or in parallel (using the Matlab Parallel Computing Toolbox). A simple usage example:
>> data = IQML('history', 'symbol','AAPL', 'dataType','ticks')
data =
100×1 struct array with fields:
Symbol
Timestamp
Datenum
Last
LastSize
TotalVolume
Bid
Ask
TickID
BasisForLast
TradeMarketCenter
TradeConditions
TradeAggressorCode
DayOfMonth
BasisDescription
TradeMarketName
TradeDescription
AggressorDescription
>> data(end)
ans =

IQML was developed with top performance, reliability and usability in mind. IQML supports 100% (repeat: 100%) of IQFeed's API functionality. It is fully documented, continuously maintained/improved, and I am happy to provide support.

Note: I am an independent software developer and not a MathWorks employee. Don't get angry at me for bringing an independent alternative to the table...
