[amibroker] Why is NinjaTrader Better at Backfilling IB Data?

["ganamide" <ganamide@xxxxxxxxx>]

I always had problems backfilling data from Interactive Brokers into AmiBroker, but then I started using NinjaTrader and I haven't had much problem with it. In NT, I am able to load up to 20 different futures charts with 15 days of 5 minute bars without a problem, and it only takes about 1 minute to do so. I just tested it with AmiBroker using only 1000 5 minute bars and it keeps choking on a single symbol. This makes me think that either something is wrong with the IB plugin for AmiBroker, or NT figured out a clever way around the throttling issue. Is there anyway we can look into the IB plugin to make it work better? I really want to use AmiBroker with my IB datafeed.

Thanks,
Chris
