Listed by the vendor as "Up-to-the-second historical data requires additional subscription for the API". The words in quotes are from Interactive Brokers' own list. The vendor's note says historical data requests within 15 minutes of the current time need a valid market data subscription, and refers to its Market Data Subscriptions page.
Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders.
How do I fix 2188 (up to the)?
Request data older than 15 minutes, or hold the market data subscription the vendor's note describes.
