Hi
I was wondering how is it possible that MC can back-fill quotes with <1second granularity, yet IB API supports only 1s bars as a minimum for historical download?
Where the data come from then?
thx

Hello Fritol,
What do you mean? Do you have historical data timestamps lower than with 1 second increment ?

No, I just checked and they are 1 second bars. The chart says 10tick,the bar range setting allows you to go sub second even though it doesnt work for historical with IB. I understand this should only work for live quote collecting.

1 second bars are used as 1 tick bars with IB.
You can also use 5s bars as 1 tick bars if you change the setting in QuoteManager->Tools->Data sources->IB.
