Ah, that's very interesting! I'm on Mac OS X so it seems I can't use the Linux utilities you are referring to. Is there a way to launch the currently available TWS downloads as IBGateway, by somehow

Re: Download page for IB Gateway...

It could be spelling. This is from the API docs: whatToShow String Determines the nature of data being extracted. Valid values include: * TRADES * MIDPOINT * BID * ASK * BID_ASK *

Historic data req is rejected: SP500 with TRADE type (not MIDPOINT). Why?
Hey all. I'm trying to get Historic data from the ES ticker on GLOBEX and with type TRADE, and the request is rejected. If I ask for MIDPOINT it works. Does anyone know why? Thanks.
