Re: [amibroker] Re: ADR Index and IB TWS

[Keith McCombs <kmccombs@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Barry --
I contacted TWS and received the following explanation.

"Amibroker historical data equates Trader Workstation (TWS) charting information. Therefore, Amibroker backfill messages are identical to the TWS charting display. If the Chart feature in TWS is not receiving data for the ADR@xxxx INDEX contract, then it is impossible to obtain the same information through any API program.

For further investigation, I tried requesting ADR@xxxx IND and the data is not available. Some of the indexes are not available for backfill data, and ADR is one of them unfortunately.

Before requesting data in Amibroker, first you need to navigate to the TWS and enter the specified contract then open a charting window. If you are successful in requesting backfill data in TWS, then you should able to obtain the same historical data through the API."

Thanks for your help.

I tried ADR-AMEX-IND this morning and could not back fill it. Same
error message as last night. But I let it run and the data is being
received and filling the chart.

I guess back fill is a question for TWS support.
