I have recently noticed that IB is listing expired futures contracts. Just type in ZG in a line and hit enter. Expired contracts is listed below the active ones. I tried putting an expired contract into AB, but I am sure AB is asking for recent data by default. Perhaps there is a way to request the data for an expired contract. If one of you geniuses could figure out how to get that data and how to combine the contracts into a continuous contract, we would have historical 1-min data. I would certainly be a buyer as I'm sure others would be also.

I am not sure what you mean by Ges x, but I am simply using the TWS
provided eclient c++ example, adding 2 lines of code to save the data
in a file.
I think you may be right about the stall, all you have to do is to
wait i guess, but i am sure you can get data up to 1 year back
for example for 1 week of data from 1 year ago put as end date 1 year
ago + 1 week and as duration 1 week
