Cannot get IB 1-min historical data

Postby ivanyu » 05 Aug 2013

Hi,

I have IB TWS started AFTER Hong Kong futures market open, and I have both MultiCharts and NT started, AFTER TWS is started.

NT can retrieve 1min historical since market open, but MultiCharts can only retrieve 1min data from the point I opened up MultiCharts.

Is there any setting/config that needs to be done?

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much. The historical download was already checked. It seems this might be a bug in earlier versions of 8.7, after updating to latest build of 8.7, this problem goes away!

Thanks again!
