IB Allows More Symbols and
now have their own History (Beta)

19:38 scorp: Howard, I have a question (whenever you get a second); supposedly with today's version of IB's TWS they are allowing back-fill market data for the current day; will that impact IB datafeed users on refresh?

19:39 @Ensign-HA: no impact yet scorp, we will have to investigate and implement calls for the IB refresh - right now it is business as usual

 

19:41 zol2: Howard, re the 100 symbols... It's for free... You get more than 100 with over $800 commis ... From their newsletter .. "100 simultaneous market data lines may now be displayed in the Trader Workstation for free. Customers with greater than $800 USD (or equivalent) of commissions in a month will be provided with additional market data lines in the next month at the rate of 1 line for each $8 USD (or equivalent) of commissions above $800 USD (or equivalent)."
