Hi, I have exchanged few e-mails with IB regarding ARCA Stk access. I sent the daily TWS log file, so they were able to analyze it.
The bottom line is: 1. Using my account I can see all quotes regardless of the exchange (either ARCA or ISLAND). 2. I can see historical data on TWS charts regardless of the exchange. 3. Log file indicates that I do not have access to ARCA (when trying to backfill IWM, EWG, EWU,..... from AB. I was able to view corresponding charts in TWS. Based on these three facts IB concludes: 1.TWS is OK because I can do everything within TWS I am supposed to. 2.They cannot take responsibilities for third part application (fair statement). 3.Something is wrong between TWS and AB. This is a copy of their conclusion: "More than likely even though you are using AmiBroker and changed to Island the request is not structured to request historical data from the Island Exchange in the backend of AmiBroker. In this case you will need to signup for ARCA Market data permissions." I wonder whether they change the connection ID behind the scenes when they access exchange data from TWS ? Tomasz, is there anything you can do to make it work from AB ? Thank you for your help. AF
