Boring plugin status

[c1001]

When use IB live data, the boring plugin status is always there. It hinders the volume bars.

@Tomasz, is it possible to move or hide it?

Please see the attached.

Lower the backfill length. You really don't want backfill to be doing all that lenghty fills. You should change to 5 days for everyday operation (after initial setup).

for intraday backtest, apparently 5 days is not enough.

when using other data source, I have no this problem even if I backfill years 1 minutes data.

@c1001, your question was to get rid of the message box. Did reducing the backfill fix the problem? (My guess is that it did..)

Next you say 5 days is not enough for your intraday backtest. Why are you limiting yourself to 5 days. The backfill length might be 5 days, but you can SAVE the data and run your backtest on whatever data you have.

As Tomasz mentioned, AFTER you do your initial setup (big backfill), and SAVE the data, then you can do whatever you want.

Thanks @snoopy.pa30 . That is exactly what I meant:

1. Initial setup with long backfill (maximum available)
2. SAVE your database (all backfilled data are kept)
3. Everyday operation with just most recent five days (one backfill - quick and no repeated popups).
