hello,

I am trying to use IBKR as the data for the cboe cash indices.

I have the maximum historical intraday days to download limit set to 1500.. I want data from the last couple of years.

But I can only get up to 365 days of historical data. Intraday I am currently getting around 2 years worth.

Any tips>?

There is a limit with the number of days downloaded from Interactive Brokers for historical daily data. This is a limit set on the Interactive Brokers side. Maybe it has changed.

Directly from their website:


"Note:

1. At this time Historical Data Limitations for barSize = "1 mins" and greater have been lifted. However, please use caution when requesting large amounts of historical data or sending historical data requests too frequently. Though IB has lifted the "hard" limit, we still implement a "soft" slow to load-balance client requests vs. server response. Requesting too much historical data can lead to throttling and eventual disconnect of the API client. If a request requires more than several minutes to return data, it would be best to cancel the request using the IBApi.EClient.cancelHistoricalData function."

Ok we will try an increase but we make no guarantees. And it may create a problem.

I am no coder but I think we might be requesting too much data at once (from 1973).

Perhaps we might be better off requesting in blocks of 365 days? With multiple unique download request ids?

Looking forward to your reply. Thx in advance.
