IB tradestation backfill

There are so many problems!

Is it still in a testing phase?

Can you trade your money by using it ?

j_medved · Jul 11, 2005

there might be problems with backfill. There are no problems with quotes or trading

It's hardly a problem at all and it is just temporary, it has not impacted my trading ability or intraday quotes.

I would highly recommend QT to anyone.

But the API is beta and seems to not very stable. When will the final be released?

Could you please provide specifics as to what is not stable in this API Beta? Thank you.

ADX_trader,

Its not that the API is not stable. We just ran into a situation where QT was not handling a particular case - where data returned did not start at 9:30 (or whatever the session start is). We are trying to come up with a systamatic way to handle that. Will contact IB regarding details.

Jerry - everything is working great now with the backfill. Many thanks to you and your team for a fantastic product and CS.

Is there a way to get data from Quotetracker into GlobalServer, or the backfill from IB API into GlobalServer directly?
I am using 2000i/ Hyperserver/ IB.
