    Long time loading Data in Backtesting

    I was trying to backtest my strategy on SPY 5 min data over 1 Jan 2008 to 1 Jan 2009. The "Loading Data" dialogue box seems to be running with the dates changing. But it is over 1 hour already, but I still haven't got my test results and can't abort the operation. Is that normal? I use feed from IB.

      Hi tjendra, likely you have requested too much historical data from IB. Please disconnect from IB and clear out any unneeded charts or ticker lines in the TWS. Then reconnect after about 10 minutes and try to data downloading again.
