IB Quote Download

Postby GTrader » 05 Aug 2014

When using IB as a souce for data for minute charts I noticed that MC requests 1 week of data at a time. I find that the repeated requests result in a pacing violation depending on how much data is requested. Is there any reason 1 request isn't made for the whole history?

Hello GTrader,

Each data provider has his own limitation for the length of a single historical data request.
TsServer requests the data per sessions. This is how our data loading algorithms are designed.
Please check more details on IB historical data limitation/pacing violations in the link below:

You can press Ctrl+Alt+F in IB TWS window to reconnect TWS to its data servers and reset the pacing violation.
