Post From: Problems with backfill and realtime data for IB symbols "SPY" and "SPY-TD"

The problem was indeed on IB's end. I always watch a few index charts including the symbol $IUX (Russel 2000 Index). Apparantly IB now requires me to pay for that index data thus causing the message "Requested data requires additional subcription for API". A similar message appers on IB's TWS DATA Tab.

Somehow by TWS "blocking" the $IUX data it also caused problems receiving SPY data.

So I removed the $IUX chart, saved and restarted SC. Then I also restarted TWS. Now the SPY and SPY-TD data is wroking fine and no subcription messages appear.
