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

[Tomasz Janeczko <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Not true. You guys fail to read the instructions.
Backfill works the same because it is limited by IB to 5-days per request.
But if you compare 30days backfill (AB default) to 5-days backfill then
obviously 30-days will take 6 times more.

You need to CHANGE default backfill length to 5-days in PLUGIN STATUS
menu, then you can compare, otherwise you are comparing
5-day backfill with 30-day backfill.

There is PLUGIN STATUS MENU - you need to click WITH RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON
on it and select "Backfill length" - > 5 days .

Best regards,

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
