Hello,
Please note that parts of the docs may refer to OLD plugin or OLD TWS versions.
Things change and improve.
That's why there was no backfill on DEMO but now there IS 10-day backfill.
and that's why there was no open price but now there is (with MOST RECENT TWS
and IB plugin 1.7.1).
If you notice any obsolete part in the documentation please report to support. Thank you.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
