does anyone know if IB is going to get/offer backfill, or have they already done that & i just haven't updated my software? brian
There was a recent chat on Elite from IB - the speaker Steve?, hinted that backfill is on the agenda but no time scale was given. Check the chat log library on the front page of this site.
I am also interested in backfill very much. Now I am using IB for trading and Scottrade for backfill. Thank you Scottrade but it's not the best configuration.
I don't know about the backfill schedule, but I do know there is a users campaign going on to ask IB for TICK and TRIN. TM Trader
For those of you who could not find the chat log I referred to http://www.elitetrader.com/ch/transcripts/ib_chat.cfm
Send them an e-mail with a request for that. I know at one point in time they said they are considering it. High demand will probably get the ball rolling faster.
