'Unable to read beyond the end of the stream.' with ibtws

7 views (last 30 days)
Hi all,
I recently purchased the trading toolbox and I've been following the tutorial on how to obtain historical market data but I always get his error message
'Unable to read beyond the end of the stream.' Hope someone can help.
Here is my code
ib = ibtws('',7497);
ibContract = ib.Handle.createContract;
ibContract.symbol = 'MSFT';
ibContract.secType = 'STK';
ibContract.exchange = 'SMART';
ibContract.currency = 'USD';
bdc = 13;
startDate = daysadd(today,-20,bdc);
endDate = daysadd(today-1,-1,bdc);

You need to be subscribed to realtime data on IB.
You need these subscriptions on IBKR:
CBOE Realtime: $1/m
US Equity and Options Add-On Streaming Bundle: $4.50/m
US Securities Snapshot and Futures Value Bundle: $10/m

ib = ibtws('',7496);
ibForex = ib.Handle.createContract;
ibForex.symbol = 'CL';
ibForex.secType = 'FUT';
ibForex.primaryexchange = 'NYMEX';
ibForex.exchange = 'NYMEX';
ibForex.LastTradeDateOrContractMonth ='202004';
startdate = floor(now)-1;
enddate = floor(now);
barsize = '1 min';
ticktype = 'BID';
d = history(ib, ibForex, startdate, enddate, ticktype, barsize)
Try this.
If this doesn't work, you should download and use the IB Gateway and turn the log on. Then when you run it, you can see what it's doing and I can better see what's going on :)
