I tried that once, too. As long as I was live everything was hunky dory, it's a technical term. :) Backfills, however, were quite another story since IB transmits in consolidated time segments, at least that's the way I figured it, and ticks then mean squat. During a 1 minute span, 10 ticks or 10,000 ticks both get one data line. I'm a long way from an expert, but that was my experience.
I hope you have better luck than I did.
