    Depends on the timeframes. Heard others talking about the need of 1second and 5seconds.
    (HFT makes 87 000 000 moves per/s and folks still not givin up - kudos for that. (Unless it's for coded stuff or competing with RH fomo degenerates))

    Lets say, 3 days candle or 2.5 hrs candle -
    not sure, how it would change anything for the better ?

    I mean like having 3months/6months/1year candles which TWS doesn't have
     
  4. TWS indeed does not have this. Also their API does not offer this: the longest time duration per bar is 1 month. You would have to construct this yourself by combining multiple 1-month bars.

    You can put it on IB Feature Poll.
    Maybe the team will integrate it for you :)
