Re: Interactive Brokers data feed improvement suggestion

I use IQ Feed as my data provider for historical data, and IB as my Broker (and live data feed). The accuracy of the highs/low is a very important issue for intra-day systems. I have found this issue to cause deviations from back tests due to references such as HighD(0), High, MaxPositionProfit, and...
