Hi, I have been experiencing a problem with loading historical e-mini S&P data. In this case 1-1-2013 till today. 5 min timeframe. I was always connected to Interactive Brokers in "Data/Trade Service Settings" under "Service" where I was connected to paper trading account. (At least once a month connected to live trading account). It is however impossible to load historical data for ES this way. When I am connected to IB and use "Find Symbol", I can see ES under "Futures" and I am able to choose ticker "ES-201703-GLOBEX". I was using this way of loading historical data for GC and it has always worked. Now the furthest it loads data is December 12, 2015. However when I choose "SC Data - All Services [DATA]" instead of Interactive Brokers, I am then able to choose "ESH17" from the "Find Symbol" table and I am able to download required historical data. My question is why is it not possible while being connected to IB? What if I needed having 3 years worth of historical data loaded while live trading? How should I set this up correctly? Thanks for help in advance. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-02-20 14:13:52
