IB history chart backfill problem

Postby wzero » 10 Jul 2014

I use MultiCharts.net for TWS version, I have history chart back fill problem that there is always an about two hours histroy chart missing. For example say current time is 10:00, the chart will only display bars before about 8:00. I have tested many setting in MultiCharts.net, none sloved this problem. I have also tested MultiCharts.net standard trial version, same problem. But charts on IB TWS and NT have no this problem. Anyone have idea?

Hello Sir,

The reason of the price gaps/missing data you have in MultiCharts is the new Java 7, 60 Update.
Please close MultiCharts and TWS -> downgrade Java to ver 7 Update 55.
Here is how to do that:
1) Uninstall Java:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/uninstall_java.xml
2) Download the java version according to your OS version from this page
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... 55-oth-JPR
or one of these two:
32 bit: http://www.oldapps.com/java.php?old_java=14636?download
64 bit: http://www.oldapps.com/java.php?old_java=14645?download
3) Install the downloaded Java 7 update 55.
4) Reboot your PC if required
5) Start MultiCharts and TWS
6) Reload the charts with the gaps (View tab->Reload) in MultiCharts and the issue should be resolved.
