As all you probably know, IB doesn't have the essential historical tick data service, so whenever you lose live data or some database issue is not possible to rebuild it fast. I've had a technical accident in my trading platform where basically is that database messed up inexplicably. Since I work with IB, it's critical to me having available a database just with IB data. So this situation makes me wonder, if anyone can indicate me how to get, buy, download this tick data? I'm not aware if this is possible but any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Historical tick data costs a lot of money. It is proprietary information owned by the exchange that underlying instrument trades on.
