Re: [amibroker] Slow IB backfills

["Edward Pottasch" <empottasch@xxxxxxxxx>]

but even now, 8:32 CET, so 2:32 ET  backfill is horrible, not working. About a year ago when I was running a portfolio system and needed to download data for about 40 symbols every morning it worked smoothly. Now I can even get 1 symbol backfilled this morning. Completely useless. But the IB charts work OK this morning. So wonder if this has something to do with the link to AB.

IB data is completely useless. Like mentioned here during market hours it is almost impossible to get data. So if you plan to add a symbol during market hours forget about it.

 

I experienced that my internet connection went offline and when it returned to the online status I could not backfill the data for that day even though it said that the data had been backfilled. So the data for POT for that day where gone and I could not backfill them during market hours. Luckily I also use IQFeed but I used to use IB data to execute the systems. Seems the quality is getting worse each day.

Anyone having problems with IB backfills on futures. I am requesting a 5 day backfill and it is excruciatingly slow.
