What I did is to set the Backfill Length to some big number to start - say 30 days. Then go to some off hour time and get your historical data.
Then each day you trade, set the Backfill Length to just the amount of data you need since you last updated. For me it is usually just one day.
This speeds things up considerably.

> I hooked up the IB w/ Amibroker for real-time quotes. Although the quotes are coming in great, the charts aren't. It is EXCRUCIATINGLY long to get the chart updated, especially if I have more than 5 charts. I'm trading forex, but trying to get equity, futures, and forex quotes all at the same time. What normally happens is that the chart (just one) is updating (1-minute time frame) for about 10 seconds then stops. A little message pops up telling me that it (IB servers ...I suppose) needs to reload or something like that. And the time that it takes is roughly 120 seconds. Once that done, I would get another 5 to 10 seconds of updating. The cycle begins again. I follow about 5 forex pairs and never get all the charts update successfully. Another thing....If I ever skip a day or two w/o updating the charts, the next time that I connect to IB w/ AB all my charts are "broken." That is, they have "holes" all over the place, indicating that some of the charts are not updating. And this happens regardless of the time frame. Whether that is in minute or hourly charts.

It seems to me that something is holding it back. Maybe a incompatibility issue? Anyway, if any of you here have some experience in setting this up and getting decent chart updates, please let me know. I surely appreciate that.
