Re: US futures historical data in exchange time
Thanks for the reply. I'm using .NET C# "yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss" format for the endDateTime so I guess it is what you meant? As much as I remember Python (quite rusty) it is the same... Are you saying IB

Hi, What's the difference between using reqMktData() and reqTickByTickData() ? When using the latter, it seems you receive Bid Ask quotes a little faster. Doesn't it ? Best Eduardo Kremer

Re: How to interpret "Count" & "Volume" in historical data?
Welcome to the group. As far as I know there is no one standard for exactly what is counted in volumes, number of trades, and even OHLC prices. Just like I am often surprised what is being sold as

Re: TWS data providers in the cloud OR " I don't want to run a TWS instance on my machines any more"

Re: TWS 985 changes quote size units for US stocks
