Range bars historic/back fill data ?

[andy4]

Hi,
a friend mentioned that on another software with IB as data, they give at least 5 days worth of range bar data, I didn't realize that IB would do that. Is there somewhere on Ninja that I need to check to also allow that data be downloaded from IB ? Seems I can only get range bars to build if I have a chart open with that symbol and range bars building. Today was a pain took a walk and when I can back Ninja had closed and so no bars were built for that couple of hours.

Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,

Range bars are built with tick data, and unfortunately historical tick data is not supported with the Interactive Brokers connection. You can see the link below, then:Understanding the data provided by your connectivity provider

You may consider supplementing your IB feed with a data only provider like Kinetick, IQFeed, or eSignal.
