Just downgraded to TWS 885, then upgraded to TWS 888. All of them are showing flat bars on all Globex contracts. So it has nothing to do with the release. All of them do not work.

This morning backfill for ES,NQ and currency futures was so slow that I stopped it after two hours. This was for only 10 hours of backfill. If you think about it, it is ridiculous: 10 hours are 600 1-minute-bars with OHLC, volume and time-stamp each. That is next to nothing. Now IB can not...

Backfill not available for ES, NQ. Backfil not available for currency futures. Backfill not available for indices. No charts. Technical support does not answer. Last time I contacted them, I was told it is a known problem. It seems to be enough that a problem is known, if it is known then...

I am using TWS 887.2 which the last release. Previous releases had problems with TF. This one's working with TF, but scrapped ES.... Good to know that the other releases might work. I just tried TWS 882.2 - it does not load the charts now and I do not want to wait for hours.

Have flat bars everyday since two weeks. I have seen them on TWS, Amibroker, NinjaTrader, so it is not software related, but the data is simply not there. Happens when the market is busy. See example below taken 10 minutes ago.

I had flat bars for ES after 4 PM ET around market close, also had problems after Globex reopened later. It is true that there are no problems during the early morning session, so it is most likely related to traffic. Server capacity of IB moght be insufficient. They pretend that the problem...

All Globex futures are still a problem. Have had flat bars today. I am still waiting that IB solve their technical problems.

Here is the trick I used: Connect NinjaTrader (free charting) to TWS. Open chart to load backfill. After that disconnect and connect again to OpenTick (after free registration) and get your Globex E-mini data. OpenTick is painfully slow and they have unfiltered data, but should be good...

I agree. Main problem is backfill for Globex. IB, please sort out your problems.

It is obvious they are having some server problems. This is my experience: All GLOBEX backfill (including ES, NQ) very slow, several hours of data missing. Intraday backfill currently takes about 10 min per contract. NYMEX backfill does not include last Friday. So no indicators or Pivots...

The static dome does not have a hold button and you can not move the grid with the mouse wheel. In fast markets the grid of the dynamic dome is nervously moving up and down, as it centers around the last trade (see option autocenter price under properties), so you can not put in any orders...

I take QT just for charting, I really think it is one of the best charting programs available for little money. For order execution I would never choose QT. Just try Button Trader or NinjaTrader, if you want something more comfortable than TWS. The API of TWS allow to connect QT and Ninja...

Also evaluating Ninja Trader I have no problems with the dynamic dome. To stop it moving just press the space bar. For me it already has become a reflex. Select frame, press spacebar, enter order, press spacebar again to continue. I am rather concerned about daily pivots with their...

If you look for inexpensive quality charts, try www.prorealtime.com. You need to register, but it is free of charge for end of day data. They have the main continous futures contracts (American and European index futures, bond futures, gold, silver, oil etc.), most of them for several years...

Hello, IB daily historical backfill for quotetracker is 6 months for futures, 12 months for forex. For stocks I use Yahoo historical backfill which is free with quotetracker and which goes back several years. I also tested SierraChart with IB backfill, but often had 1 hour of data mssing...
