Hello,
Something is wrong with your setup.
IB can stream all the day and update charts without problem.
What is limited is BACKFILL, there is only ONE backfill running at one time
allowed by IB and there can be only 60 requests in any 5 minute period
(that accounts for one backfill per 10 seconds).
One backfill means 5-day period only.
If you backfill more than 5 days, longer period is divided into 5-day chunks.
And of course you need to have registered version of AmiBroker
to have your data SAVED in your database.
Read in detail
http://www.amibroker.com/ib.html
Especially the ENDING part about backfill and selecting backfill length
You should select 5-day backfill length if you want speedier backfills.
And only backfill longer when you set up the database for a VERY FIRST time.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
