Tick data IB

[polo0202]

Hello dear Ninja,
i want to open an account with Interactive Brokers and use Ninja as platform.
I wanted to check with you if IB provides data for tick chart and for historical tick chart.
Im a bit confused, cause here sometimes i read that historical tick chart doesnt show, other times i read people that use it,
Thanks a lot

Hello polo0202,

Thank you for your post.

The Interactive Brokers connection does not support historical tick data. You may open a real-time tick-based chart but it will not populate with historical data unless you record real-time data as historical. You may enable this option from Control Center > Tools > Options > Market data and select 'Record live data as historical data'.

I have included a link to the data by provider section of our help guide below;
