Collecting tick data 0-24h in Amibroker via Interactive Brokers TWS

[drazen1234567]

Hello users,

sometimes ( every week once or so) Amibroker v5.5 or/and IB plugin crashes. Unforunately it happens mainly overnight when I have left Amibroker and IB TWS running to collect tick data 24h. Int.Brok. set max 15m backfill of the tick data and that results in a data loss. Tick data snapshots are fine for a lot of purposes.

Testing on same configuration with 1m data backfill shows no crashes and problems 0-24h.
Im just trying to figure out how to proceed further and how to keep tick data collecting without interuptions 24h a day.


Is it happening to me only or some of you have experienced similar problems or how do you collect data 0-24h.
Please advice.

Thank you

Drazen

Hi,
I am using Amibroker with Interactive Broker Data configured with IBController auto trading. The problem i find with data plugin is the 1min backfill limitation. Is there a developer out there who has customised the Back fill interval periods?
My aim is to use 5 min or 1hour backfill intervals to broaden my database capacity, EOD is to coarse for my liking.
regards

Hi @daddapops ,

I see you've posted this question before without an answer so may I suggest also posting it in the official Amibroker Forum.

https://forum.amibroker.com/

There's a specific IB Controller sub-forum there where you're more likely to receive a reply. Unfortunately there's very little trading talk on ASF nowadays.

I use this:
http://www.tradinggeeks.net/downloads/ib-data-downloader/

It outputs an ASCII file which can be imported into Amibroker. No need to have TWS running 24hrs.
