    Download historical data error: Error on reloading data Invalid Symbol

    I am trying to download a couple months worth of tick data and am getting this error message:

    Error on reloading data: E,Invalid symbol., (Panic)

    I see a few other posts in the past on this error message but nothing so far that has helped me. IT does download a few days worth, but that is all. I was able to do this for another instrument (ES) successfully. Is this an IQFeed problem?

    Data Provider: IQFeed
    Instrument: CL

    I have tried resetting instruments and restarted, no no avail.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your post.
    When requesting tick data between the hours of 9:30am ET to 4:30pm ET you will have access to 8 days of historical tick data. If you request the data outside those hours the full 180 days is available. After you request the data, it will be downloaded to your historical database and cache, and you will be able to access this data at any time.

    Requesting tick data consumes an extremely large amount of bandwidth and heightens data server loads. When bandwidth or server load is elevated to high levels, the result is that all data, including live data can be slowed down. IQFeed decided to make 180 days of tick data available, far more than other providers, and will not compromise the data by filtering it. IQFeed simply reduces any possibilities of overloading servers and bandwidth by limiting the amount of data available during peak trading time; the times that traders need data to be as fast as possible
    If I can be of any other assistance please let me know.
