IB: backfilling quotes

let me correct the terminology that I should use.

* scalable framework
* update speed or refresh frequency of stream quotes.

And no way! That is I refuse the backfill proposal under the current circumstance.

Quote from qdz2:

noway! unless IB adapts more scalable systems. for example, use different severs at different route with enough bandwidth to provide the service. but you are gonna have to pay them for the service. bottomline is no degrade to the current quality and performance.

In fact, I think IB should provide options for encouraging user to use quotes of low speed update rate . And charge small amount of fees for regular high speed update rate streaming quotes.

:p

Quote from regough:

I can understand and agree with IB not providing historical data but how about just backfilling TODAY'S data. I mean that's not too much to ask is it? Suppose I oversleep and miss the market open- if I haven't left my quote machine(PC) on all night I miss that critical first half hour when stuff is flying all over the place.

Just sort of a compromise, I guess. . . . . .

Unless my clock is really off, it's 2:30 in the afternoon in London when NY opens. Why would you oversleep in that situation?
 
I looked into this for Euro and Hong Kong data. If you are really serious, a few hundred per month should be doable (I can see Nitro laughing).

FutureSource offers both markets, but grossly marks up exchange fees.

Aspen Graphics, via S&P Comstock, does the same with marginal, if any markup. Its been years since I've used either (but have used both seperately), so I can't speak for em. I do know that Aspen is very high end on tech analysis. Comstock is like Reuters with international data.

NO!

The faster and more frequently the quotes in TWS can update, the better. But backfill has no business slowing down IB's systems!
