I need a little help with an IB data problem. I get the message "no backfill available for EUR/USD-(BID)", when trying to fill in some gaps in my data for the EUR/USD, as well as any other forex symbol. Question, is there another symbol for EUR/USD that would work? There are a whole slew of ways to quote this pair via IB, but I can't get any of them to backfill properly. Thanks, Jay
In the symbol setup it's EUR/USD- or EUR/USD-(BID) which is recommended. However I've noticed that when creating a chart you use EUR_USD-(BID) which seems to work pretty well although for some, AUD/USD for example, still not as well as the futures backfill.
Thanks, Good to know that its not just me. I've found that pretty much all futrures backfill fine. Unfortunately, I need complete data before I'll trade something, so it looks like the IB feed isn't going to work for me. Jay
