Who trade through Interactive Brokers, please support this thread in Ninja forum, that they fix IB adapter. Many traders download history from IB, and not want useless to spend money on External DataFeed.

NinjaTrader 8 is just beta, and this is probably not a priority.

I just tested downloading historical stock data (1-minute data) from Interactive Brokers for January 2010.

It was no problem at all.

Please use the Historical Data Manager Tools -> Historical Data and download the data as needed.

You may need to adjust the amount of data loaded at the same time to comply with pacing violations, but it is definitely possible to download the data.

I have experienced similar pacing violations with other platforms.

Hello Fat Tails

You not can physically download history more then 1 years, this is absolutely "pacing violation", see picture I download AAPL|ISLAND 1 year, and have "pacing violation" on 10 minute, sorry not on English.

IB have "pacing violation" after 60 request, maximal days per reques +-5.

I write on NJ forum that download block's with 8 month, with this size not have "pacing violation" if one download and wait 10 minutes.

Problem next, I trade on Nasdaq and Xetra ( CHIXDE ), on Nasdaq 100 ticker's, and on Xetra 30. All last night I download manual in NJ tickers from 2010, instead of start to download ticker's and go to sleep, Ninja manager delete this message.

Some time need redownload history from IB server, that have clear quality history. All know that this 100% "pacing violation" if download ticker list, 1-2 ticker's download, all other rejected, and you don't know what download what not.

If you're all silent, they will not do anything in adapters, and sales 3-rd datafeed trustful trader's

About beta and priority, if you can see Release Notes, they only fix their bugs, I not see any improvements that traders write on their forums and what need in NJ 8

Sorry my english not good.

In this case, traders act only as free labor to find their bugs, nothing that you need to NJ8 you was not see if anyone has not guessed

I believe you have your answer. NinjaTrader doesn't support this.

If you would rather switch platforms than buy a quality data feed, Sierra Chart does support automatic pacing for IB data.

The obvious answer is don't use IB for data. Their data is terrible. If you are serious about trading, have a serious data feed. If you aren't serious, then why do you need so much historical data. Decide what your priorities are.

Yes Big Mike, I all see and know, I trade since 1995 year.

Just my attempt to do a little better IB adapter for traders.

IB data in some cases, more suitable and low cost for trading ( example direct routing stock, small amount of ticker, nonUS exchange and other... ), than other 3-rd datafeed, so how is data from broker.

Last time in my computer more work SC and AMI.

Ps. Do not assume that the data from the IB is terrible, they are in some cases much better than what is now available to traders, spikes from ECN in IQFeed and only US stock's, negative price from ESignal and data delayed in RT from few minutes, IB is a broker, this other level responsibility than 3-rd datafeed.

All is not gold that glitters.

All is not sold for big money is something useful and optimal for the trader, and it applies to programs and data feeds.

This is purely my opinion.

I don't think this is really a high priority issue for NT and I agree with them. There are a lot of other things that would be much more useful than the ability to download lots of free data in NT8.

One of the reasons IB limits the amount of date ( data pacing ) is so they can provide data for free. IB wants you to download a limited amount of data at a time. If you want a lot of data, maybe pay for a data service or use an IB data downloader and import the data into NT.

There is a saying, "You get what you pay for". IB data is cheap for a reason.

Math. A gateway drug to reality.

You are incorrect, about free IB data.

I buy data from Exchange, and I subscribe on Exchange through IB, so work all datafeed.

Reasons IB limits, that not overload IB datafeed, that is broker. But it does not mean that IB datafeed terrible.
