A bit 
off topic... I recently requested an eSignal trial and found the 
unrestricted (within the number of stocks limit) availability of RT data just 
too nice not to have. I had forgotten the luxury of the on-demand RT data 
that I enjoyed during my MetaStock days many years ago 
:-) Anyway, I subscribed to eSignal Basic and now I can't 
understand how I managed to work without it: backfill at any time and 
better utilization of AmiBroker's capabilities. I previously used the 
IB-DLL with TWS data, as well as Quotetracker, but while that served me up to a 
point i am quickly getting spoiled with seeing RT data whenever I turn on 
my computer.

nothing comes without any hurdles to overcome in terms of programming and system 
conversions, but to me it is worth the effort.

  fingers crossed :-) it certainly has been suggested to IB and i guess 
  eventually it will become available. Then, when the drain on their system gets 
  too much they will probably start charging for the servive.

    Herman,
     
    Thanks for your reply . Has IB indicated that backfill feature might be 
    available in the near future?

        [amibroker] IB/AB data
        Hi,
         
        I've just got myself setup with the Interactive Broker plugin for 
        Amibroker. 
         
        IB doesn't provide a backfill feature. I think have that right. 
        
         
        So does this mean I will have to keep an IB/AB connection during 
        each trading session? 
         
        What about futures, will I have to stay connected for 24 hours to 
        get all the data I want for charts or just normal trading hours. 
         
        Thanks in advance.
         
        Greg
