"Kill" Backfill

Postby dwitkin » 14 Oct 2013

In some cases, I accidentally click on a symbol / start loading chart data on a symbol without any backfill data (or add a symbol during the session without any backfill data). Once MultiCharts starts getting the backfill data, is there a way to "kill" or stop the process?

I use IB for data, and the issue is I run into historical data pacing violations, and then the new symbol "locks" everything up. Can I stop a backfill for a symbol once it is started? If so, how?

Thank you.

Hello dwitkin,

In order to stop the data requests you can close the chart or change the data request parameters for the current chart (change the data range for example).

In order to reset the pacing violation you can restart IB TWS/Gateway.
