Post From: Getting Timely and Accurate IB Data (Interactive Brokers) with version 1148+

With version 1148 it seems that the ability to receive both live and TD (5 second) data from IB has been removed.

This seems to result in a choice of either:
- live data which misses bar highs and lows from time to time (100ms snapshots of price); or
- 5 second data which is 5 seconds late so the current bar can be 5 or 10 ticks behind price
also the new bar doesn't start for 5 seconds so automated systems might be challenged

In 1131 I can collect 5 second data on one chart and live data on another and then a DLL function combines them onto one of the charts that displays current price, forms a new bar immediately on the first transaction after the old one, and is corrected for any missing data when the next 5 second bar arrives.

Have I misinterpretted your objective or set this up incorrectly? I guess I see this as a fairly serious loss of functionality unless I making a mistake in setting up 1148.
