Hello,
Backfill is needed because you don't keep application open non-stop (24 hours a day).
And they WILL be automatically updated that way (when you backfill).
And no they don't need to be in RT quote window. It is jus convenient to
have them there. So add those 44 symbols to RTQ and you are done.
Also I explained in zillions of times that IB is SPECIAL because
it has limits on 1 backfill and simply does NOT work the way other (real)
data sources work. Try code something for IB yourself then you will
know how many limitations it has. That's why it has special
"backfill all rtq symbols" that others don't. If you pay nothing for the feed
don't expect miracles.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
