Hi. The API does not yet support this, though the developer promises this and more eventually ('real' historical tick data I'm waiting for...)

But even when these are available, you are still going to be handicapped by MT's shitty tick-based execution - these's no way around this. So for example, even though your charts are built from real IB data, you EA will still have to wait for a tick from the bucket broker in order to get IB data or send trades to IB. So proper scalping on IB using MT will always be a fantasy - best to move to another platform.
