I encountered this issue when I upgraded to MultiBroker license. I always thought that if your broker provided backfills, it SHOULD work for ALL chart types.
But this is not the case with NinjaTrader. I am not sure why. I have used QuoteTracker with IB backfills, it does not have this issue of only backfilling time-based charts while other chart type - Eg Range, Renko etc etc.. does not have any backfills. Which means that NT doesnt convert tick data from IB into backfills for other chart types? I am trying to understand why this is the case. I hope you can help explain.
Maybe this is something NT can look into. I am looking for any feasible solution to this issue. Without backfills on some of the intra-day charts, it is really annoying for intraday trader like me. It also means I have to subscribe to another datafeed vendorand I have to leave the computer on all the time to get the data when it is actually available through IB.
