No data from IB hangs strategy analyzer

[NinjaTraderEcosystem_Ryan]

Hi Pete:

I was able to investigate a little further into your inquiry this afternoon.

Please check for a response from Dierk or myself tomorrow.

Have a great day and happy trading.

Hi Pete:

As per Dierk's initial response, there is a limitation within IB that you cannot request more than 60 days worth of historical data. When I requested 90 days of historical data for the ASML, I received the same error and my chart would only go back as far as 10/01/07.

Moving forward, we would be concerned if the Progress window of the chart or back test does not disappear, but remains on screen when submitting this request. In addition, we would be concerned if the historical data requests no longer work within IB after waiting 5 minutes to request additional historical data.

Thanks again for your post and enjoy your day.

Symbol data

I also have a problem with IB. I just subscribed to real time trading with Ninja (after testing with the simulator for some time) and I see two problems:

1) the positions window does not update as fast as TWS
2) some symbols do not have data in Ninja even though they have data in TWS. For example the symbol SA

I just want to point out that I followed the procedure for the IB connection as from your site and I added the symbols to the Instrument manager

Hope you can help. Thanks

I also do no see any data for QM 12-07

Another serious issue: look at the daily bars of MRVL in the last few days. It is completely wrong (especially on 7/11/07)

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

1) There is a known issue with IB TWS position reporting. This is an IB issue, not an NT issue.

2) Please send note in to support at ninjatrader dot com requesting help on the QM, someone will follow up

3) In general, we display the data we receive from IB. If an IB daily chart (in TWS) looks different than NT, let us know

[luitom]

Regarding MRVL I do not know if it is a NT issue or a TWS issue but I can guarantee that the daily chart is wrong compared to my Metastock or Yahoo chart.

Could it be a problem coming from the fact that I was using Opetick when I was only in simulator with NT? Is there a way to cancel all the historical data from NT and start from scratch?

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

You can overwrite the data via Tools > Historical Data > Reload

[luitom]

As it has been said in this thread IB historical data is supposed to a max of 60 days. For some reason I cannot get more thatn one week. Can somebody please tell me how to solve this?

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

60 days is likely for daily data, is this what you are having a problem with?

Minute data is likely only about 1 week.

[luitom]

My problem is that I get daily data only for one week and minute data only for one day. Something must be wrong on my end if this does not normally happen.

I have already tried to use the "repair DB" function and also tried to delete the DB file altogether to start from scratch. I still have the same problem

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

please make sure you are connected to an IB live account (demo and paper trade will not work for backfill)

[luitom]

yes I am connected to a live IB account and I just subscribed to a live trading NT account. on the daily chart I cannot get data beyond 10/3/07 and on the intraday only the data of today

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

If you don't get any more data even on Tools->Historical data->Reload then there is no more data available on IB's end in which case I suggest contacting their support.

[luitom]

The problem is that it is something that has to do with NT. Using Quotetracker, for example, I can create a chart of APPL using IB backfill all the way to June.

With NT, even using the reaload historical data feature, I can go back to 10/3/07. There has to be a problem with NT.

What can I do?
