Chart backfill with IB

[frankduc]

Hi,

I'm using Interactive Broker and i installed ninjatrader in the afternoon 13:02.
I started a chart at that time and i can export in text format historical tick data.

The thing is, i need the entire day and if possible prior days.

How can i backfill the chart so i can get the tick data for the entire day of sept 21-22?

Its quite bizarre since when i look the chart i can see the volume in volume indicator on a 60 minutes chart but cant collect the data prior 13:02.

Any idea?

thank you

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

With Interactive Brokers historical data should be included. Please see the following link.

Can you please right click in the chart-->Reload Historical Data.


Also, if you import historical tick data then you will need to reload historical data as well.

I think your right

According to the link you sent me it doesnt backfill the tick data prior to 13:06 but it does for the minute data.

I think it will be ok.

If i understand with the minute you get the cumulative volume for exemple 13:06

20090922 150600;1066.75;1067;1066.5;1066.5;944
20090922 150700;1066.5;1066.75;1066.5;1066.5;34

If i understand at the last second of 15:07 there was 34 contrats traded for that minute.

Thank you for the fast reply.
If its stay free, not like Quote tracker it should be great.
