Hello, Mr. Tails. I had a lot of trouble loading charts and getting data with IB/NT7, so I have reverted to NT6.5 . Are there any special tricks to it such as using a certain build of TWS with NT7 ? I really like NT7 apart from that issue, I dont want to let my strategy run free under 6.5 when everyone reports that 7 is much better. Thank you, Fat.
That is strange. I have changed from NT 6.5. to NT 7.0. because NT 6.5. always crashed on loading data. With NT 7.0 there are no more crashes, but everyrthing is fine.
I use the recommended build TWS 906 with NT 7.0.0.22
I always first-connect to Kinetick EOD (because it is loading better and the data has a much better quality, for instance it uses the settlement price instead of the last price for the close).
I then second connect to Interactive Brokers. Intraday-Data loading smoothly.
What exactly are your troubles?

Thanks for your help, Mr. Tails. Well, the trouble I'm having is that data doesn't load quickly enough or at all. I have the latest TWS, I always download the latest, isn't that what every good user should do? I shall follow your kind advice and report back, over the weekend.
Just send me a private message. If necessary we can fix that via Skype. Again, the only reason I switched to NT 7.0 early, is the fact that it does not crash on data loading from IB but is pretty stable. With NT 6.5. I had at least 2 crashes per day on data loading, with NT 7.0 none.
