So here a curious situation. I connect to IB as trading and historical data server. So, to be able to download historical data I set these as following:
- In connections: I set my IB connection, "Use IB as historical data server"
- In options:
- Data tab / Historical chart data / I select: Get data from server ( if available )
- Data tab / Real-time data / I select Save chart data as historical.
So, with all these options selected to be able to get and save all data from IB in my database, this happens: When I connect all data is updated and confirmed that is saved in my database. But If I disconnect, then I confirm that at least the last 2 days of data got deleted from my database, this is quickly solved by connecting back to IB.
So my question is: how should I set all data historical options, above commented, in order to have saved permanently all historical data received?
Edit:
Koganam made me a smart suggestion when following many instruments. Just open a Market Analyzer window, linked to one single chart, so whenever I want to see a chart of an instrument, just one click and done. Since IB connection is set to download from server any update for the data, my question is: How can I set all of above sets, in order to have my database updated automatically?
Thanks!
