Hi, I find it really annoying as well that IB does not backfill automatically if you are not directly looking at the specific ticker. I do the following.... I open the automatic analysis form, then I check the run every box and change the default to be every one minute for every ticker in my intraday database (i only have 40). There is never a "pregnant pause" waiting for the backfill switching looking for a new ticker. Hope this helps. Tony
