I set up a database with the IB plug-in and imported 68 symbols. I tried backfilling and after two hours it got to symbol 26. I killed it and tried it again and it keeps timing out before it gets to the new symbols. I tried putting all the symbols in the real-time quote window. That didn't help. Then I tried putting 20 in each tab and highlighting the list I wanted to backfill but AB starts always starts with the first one in the database even though I removed the first 20 symbols from the quote window. What do you have to do to backfill the database? One at a time. That would suck. IB data feed sucks anyway but it is all I can afford now. If AB is supposed to download to the pacing error and start with the next symbol after the timeout it doesn't. It always starts with the first symbol in the database. I am using a paper trading account if that makes any difference. I have not tried a real account. I don't know why it would make a difference.
Any tips would be appreciated, Barry
