Ensign - IB combo

Looks like my statements regarding "delayed fill" are incorrect.

But this shows you what a non-starter this is for me. I have approximately 80 symbols loaded into my TWS. All of these are in quote pages in Ensign, from which I can access a chart if necessary.

I turn my TWS on early in the AM, so that all charts are updating all day long with real time IB data. I have experienced next to no need for back fill data, except for the occasional time when I institute a new symbol. Not sure how frequent I do this, but it's infrequent.

I think this is a great solution for the price.

I also use IB. It only does backfill for the current day and I needed backfill for several days back and did a one month trial of myTrack/Trackdata. It worked very well and the cost for myTrack is reasonable (~$45-50/mo) not including fees for some exchanges.

One oddity I found is that myTrack uses some very usual symbols, unlike those in common use by the exchanges and other data feeds.
