I have a need to understand why Interactive Broker are somehow downloading historical data? I have not even engaged their TWS client. Already turned off automatic reconnect on failure and turned off connection on Startup. Removed the data on my hard drive and it still download without connection. Something dumb I did? |

The volume data (e.g. volume traded at bid/ask at a given price) from above is more accurate than those from Interactive Brokers? Good to per tick? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-10-26 23:23:30

I am tempted to set the "Maximum Historical Intraday Days to Download Limit" to zero days ... so that whenever during reloading, the data is from Sierra Chart Historical Data Service.
