IB tradestation backfill

Discussion in 'Trading Software' started by seesound, Jul 1, 2005.

  1. I had to udate TWS to most current build 848, it then started working.

    I just downloaded the beta of quotetracker without problems but how do I get more than two days backfill with ib tws 848? I am looking at yhoo.

  5. WebUpdate after getting the beta. that should get you the IB configuration update ( I forgot to include it in the install).

    Jerry - I seem to be only able to backfill Nasdaq issues and Futures (however some are not such as HKFE for example). Unable to on things like BA, CAH, T etc. On these it keeps showing backfilling even after nearly 5 minutes have elapsed (although they do backfill the current day relatively shortly).

  8. I am checking. Stuff like that is usually a server issue though.

  9. Question - do you have a current quote on the symbol in QuoteTracker prior to doing a backfill? if not, get it. Otherwise there is a bug with what QT is requesting. (hey, its beta :) )

    I can add (after the installation) any Nasdaq listed stock with full 5 day backfill.

    I already had HKFE in my streaming portfolio prior to the installation which does not backfill.

    I added various ones to my portfolio such as CAH, BA and T after the installation - which are not backfilling.

    I do have quotes streaming in on all the above in my portfolio section.

    Hope that helps.
