Thanks. Sorry I didn't make it clear in my post, but I need TradeStation access to Interactive Brokers for intraday data, not EOD data. For EOD, I use Pinnacle.
Years ago I used the MetaServer demo to work with intraday ES, but that 
was 1 computer and 3 operating systems ago. Just wondered if there was 
anything new besides TradeBullet (which isn't practical due to requiring a 
subscription). Free or one-time cost is what I'm after.
I noticed something odd. I can hook up NinjaTrader to Interactive Brokers 
easily, and it somehow manages to retrieve a history! I didn't even know 
IB maintained any history. Can MetaServer enable TradeStation to do that, 
these days?

I have used MetaServer RT for IB for years. It is rock solid. When I needed it, as in switching computers, support was immediate and professional.
MetaServer RT offers nothing but value IMHO.

I can't speak to the EOD thing as I trade interday.

No affiliation, blah, blah.  Your milage may vary.

I mostly do work with EOD methods so I don't need to hook up TradeStation 2000i to a data feed.
However, if I need to get a feed from Interactive Brokers, what's the 
favored way people on this list like to use?
Metaserver RT still has a demo version that lets you work with 2 symbols.

There's also this thing called TradeBullet, but it requires a monthly subscription. Forget it. I need this capability only occasionally, so it isn't worth paying a subscription.
I thought there was another one around for free, but I can't remember the 
name.
