[amibroker] Re: IB Expanded Historical Data

Oh wow, I did not catch the year as 2008.  I read about the expanded data in a recent IB email and when I searched through the IB newletters today, that's the newsletter that turned up.

So if the 2 to 3 years of historical data has been available for IB charting for over a year, then I assume AmiBroker must not have a way to access all of it since the backfill length maximum is 180 days in the backfill menu and documented as 30 days (for 1 minute bars) in the user's manual and 30(180*) days on the IB plugin website page.  Now I also see on the website that in the June 2008 v1.7.1 IB plugin the "one-year backfill has been removed because of instability".

I think the website plugin revision history tells me what I wanted to know...

Thanks,

David
