The scmagic.org website allows you do download 2 sec data for up to 3 years on some instruments for USD199p.a. It is not real-time, but is a good backfill substitute for IB. I've got no affiliation with them, but have found their service very useful. On 23/02/07, Tom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Mark What do you mean by "a couple of disastrous run-ins"? FYI, I do not trade on 5-second chart, just want to download 5-second as the base interval to get higher time-frame data. If I cannot download 5-second data from IB in one time, I have to download it several times during a month and save them for future use.

This site has 5-second data for several commodities http://www.scmagic.org The site is tricky to navigate, but the service is great and very cost effective On 23/02/07, itmwh <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: Hi, today I tried to download the Febuary 5-seconds intraday data of HSIG7-HKFE-FUT from Interactive Brokers with AB , but found that I can only download the 5-second realtime data from Feb.13 AM. (In database setting, I fill in 200,000 as the default number of bars.) Has some one experience the same when downloading 5-second data from IB ? Is it possible to download the whole month 5-second data of a contract in just one time ?
