  1. There are so many problems!

    Is it still in a testing phase?

    Can you trade your money by using it ?

    It's hardly a problem at all and it is just temporary, it has not impacted my trading ability or intraday quotes.

    I would highly recommend QT to anyone.

    Could you please provide specifics as to what is not stable in this API Beta? Thank you.

  7. ADX_trader,

    Its not that the API is not stable. We just ran into a situation where QT was not handling a particular case - where data returned did not start at 9:30 (or whatever the session start is). We are trying to come up with a systamatic way to handle that. Will contact IB regarding details.

    Jerry - everything is working great now with the backfill. Many thanks to you and your team for a fantastic product and CS.

  9. Is there a way to get data from Quotetracker into GlobalServer, or the backfill from IB API into GlobalServer directly?
    I am using 2000i/ Hyperserver/ IB.
