[amibroker] Re: IB plugin 1.8.0 released - This is a fix? I don't think so!

Tomasz I think there is a problem.

I added this dll and it hung up on the first symbol it tried to back 
fill, AA. I tried to cancel back fill and I got a 162 error message 
and that would not go away. After about 3 minutes I shutdown and 
reconnected IB. The 162 message went away and AB went to the next 
symbol to download, AIG. That says backfilling(#4) AIG (1/1) and that 
keeps flashing about once a second but never back fills the symbol 
and never advances to the next symbol in the list. AIG is the second 
symbol in the list. After a while I get an error from TWS that I had 
reached the throttling error on attempting to back fill AIG. Well 
when it started up it started backfilling the symbol displayed on the 
chart, TFZ8 and says it is #6 and flashed at one second intervals, 
never backfills as the status continually says Connected OK. 

I have a formula that uses foreign to plot all the symbols in my data 
base so I don't have to worry about back filling except on startup. I 
stopped that, shut AB down and restarted it and it now says 
Backfilling(#1) AIG (1/1) with the one second flash telling me it 
connected OK. 

I installed the plugin with TWS running. So I shut AB down, and 
started again this time with the old DLL, 1.6.8.0. Same thing. So I 
shut AB and TWS down and replaced the old with the new DLL and stated 
it up again. All worked well until I stared the formula above. It 
hung on the symbol it was downloading and kept flashing until the 
throttling error. At this point I shut AB down and started it again 
and not it is hung backfilling the chart symbol. I shut down TWS and 
restarted it and it did the same thing. 

OK Now I am back to where I started. 1.6.8.0 installed and TWS 
restarted. Guess what. As long as I don't start my formula to plot 
all the symbols it will back fill as I click on the symbol. But when 
I start my formula it hangs. What was working before I tried to use 
DLL 1.8.0 no longer works. I would think getting it back to where it 
was before using the new DLL would fix the problem but it seems like 
that isn't the case. I can back fill some tickers but when I hit the 
more complex ones, like COMP-NASDAQ-IND it starts with the one minute 
flashing.  

What is going on? Me thinks there is a bug somewhere. Do you have any 
idea where? I am using AB 4.90.5. TWS 887.2 and JAVA 1.6.0_07. It 
worked all day and not it is broke. I guess the old adage applies, if 
it ain't broke don't fix it.

HELP,
Barry
