Re: [amibroker] IB plugin and TWS 848 multiple-day backfill

Hello,

1. In my tests I am getting longer backfills for STOCKS (which have shorter trading hours)
   and shorter for FUTURES (which are trading almost 24 hours a day)
   Stocks are backfilled upto 5 days back, GLOBEX futures ~2days.

2. Yes the API docs says that but
    a) this needs to be verified in practice (to implement that IB would need to collect the data for 6 months now, 
        and based on their comments I doubt if they already collected that much data)
    b) accessing this would require changes in the plugin 
        while I was asking what results you get with CURRENT version of the plugin

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
