QuoteTracker being shut down for good?

I extracted the files from the patch. I can bring in IB data but it won't backfill (from before I turned on my computer). Was there a step I missed?

Same problem on another computer that has QT without the patch being applied. So must be an IB problem right now. If anyone else can confirm . . .

That's what I'm seeing as well. I am unpatched, and I am connected to IB but I can't backfill any of my charts, but it shows whatever data after I started QT.

I switched to my data feed to IQFeed, and I can't backfill any of my charts either. This appears to have just happened over this weekend...

Have same problem. Hurricane, did you get yours resolved?

By the way, my QT is "patched."

Same here, both my stockwatch and IB backfill feeds are not backfilling. I tried on the patch and unpatch (but originally registered QT), 2 different computers. They are all 3.9.8 versions. All the real time quotes are fine. Problems started about April 1.

Hopefully another patch in the works.

somethings farked. IB's tws charts fine, so the backfill servers are up.

very bad, Ameritrade backfill also not working. Don't get it , how could they break IB?

For what it's worth, the historical backfill appears to work from IB.

Having same issue with IQFeed and TD Ameritrade backfill. Posted on the below link. IQFeed said they have had numerous calls this morning and nothing they can do on their end.

Jerry please help or at least tell us that the wonderful QT experience is over.

I thought I just said that. The problem is QT, not the backfill sources.

Did Ameritrade intentionally break something or is this an April fools bug

I meant historical backfill thru QT, not thru TWS.
