To be clear, reqHistoricalData works - within the context of what
data IB provides. It may be that you need more data than IB
provides or need it faster, but to make a blanket statement that
IB's historical doesn't work just is not the case.

I am still trying to get some sense from this?
reqHistoricalData. Sure I shall as soon as I have some sensible
data getting populated using IB. At this stage I do not
recommend IB. I do not know about Yahoo Finance. need to
explore.?

would you mind pasting the code you use to download monthly
historical data using reqHistoricalData? The smaller the
amount of code to read basic data, the better. I was thinking
about using IB (vs. Yahoo finance) but your answer re: the
time to download is discouraging - so I don't want to reinvent
the wheel in case this turns out to be useless. Thanks.
