"Ninja Trader has reached an IB limitation for historical data requests. IB may reject all historical data requests for the next 5 minutes: historical Market Data Service error message: Historical data request pacing violation"
I contacted IB support, and they said this happens when you make more than 60 requests in 10 minutes. Note that I'm getting this error when just bringing up ONE chart! I bring up one chart for an ETF, bar size 5 minutes, and the farthest back I can go is 5 months. If I select farther than 5 months, then I get the error above. IB tells me that I should have access to 12 months of data:
So it seems to me that even though I'm loading just one chart, NT is making multiple requests, such that it makes about 60 requests to load 5 months of intra-day data. Is there a way to get around this?
