Exactly : IB should be considered for integrated trading - not as quote provider. Moreso because they offer a lot of pre-programmed interfaces to their traderworkstation and there are a lot of TA tools out there having an IB trading interface integrated.
As far as I know, IB was working on the backfill issue, but that means nothing. There are always more important issues to consider for them. But that's OK for me.
I wouldn't take them as realtime datafeed for TA.
There are better providers out there.
One reasonably priced RT data provider I found reliable over the years is Stockwatch.com from Canada. They also provide up to 5 days backfill in any time frame.
