your observation is correct. it has always been like this. i am assuming there must be some technical difficulty in fixing this (or creating a subset of "favorite" symbols that get saved even when not viewed) because i have asked about this in the past several times. if you use tick or volume bars you can not use backfill to create the correct information.

I'm using the IB Feed and have all my symbols in the RTQ window. There's only about 40 or so of them. My understanding was that AB would collect data for any symbol in the RTQ list. It collects data for symbols open in a chart window, But it does not do this for symbols that are only in the RTQ window. For these, I have to force a backfill at the end of the day. The Database is set for Local Data Storage, 500000 quotes, 1 minute data. Does anyone else have this problem? I probably have some setting wrong and would appreciate any advice . Using 490.3, but had this in the prior versions too.
