Yes I noticed that IB backfills are faster before market open and after market close. I think that they prioritize traffic so order flow and streaming updates take precedence, which is actually good thing.

I think IB is doing something to slow the data down because they are afraid their system may get overloaded by volume, but this is just speculation on my part. I say this because the backfill seems to operate much better after the market closes. ----- Original Message ---- From: Tomasz Janeczko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 3:26:28 PM Subject: Re: [amibroker] Slow IB backfills Although performance of single backfill is strictly dependent on TWS delivering the data, I just ask you to make sure you are using latest version of the plugin (1.8.0) http://www.amibroke r.com/ib. html Best regards, Tomasz Janeczko amibroker.com ----- Original Message ----- From: James To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ps.com Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 10:03 PM Subject: [amibroker] Slow IB backfills Anyone having problems with IB backfills on futures.
