IB: Delayed feed in TWS

erlewine · Jan 13, 2010

TWS 900 and up lets you get a delayed streaming feed on unsubscribed tickers.

Has anyone figured out how to pull historical data with the delayed data (charts within TWS just say the ticker is unsubscribed), or at a minimum pull it into the API and chart it while you're logged in?

Tried it in Ninjatrader and couldn't load any charts because the exchange was not subscribed.

From TWS Release Notes:

Receive Delayed Market Data

Customers now have the option to receive delayed market data for exchanges and instruments for which they do not current hold market data subscriptions. The Market Data Request Error window, which displays when the user attempts to add a ticker without having subscribed to market data, now includes two checkboxes at the bottom of the window. Check Receive available delayed market data to use delayed data (if available) for the specific instrument. Additionally check Automatically receive delayed market data when available to use available delayed data automatically whenever you add a ticker to your trading page on an exchange for which you do not hold a market data subscription. The trading window highlights tickers that use delayed data in yellow for easy identification.

To modify delayed data settings, in Global Configuration select Display then select Ticker Row. Click the Reset Delayed Market Data Subscription button and check or uncheck the above options to reflect your delayed data preferences.
