Hello, In "quiet" times (before market turmoil) DEMO delivered some very limited backfill, but now don't expect TWS DEMO to work. DEMO was always having very little common with actual account, including completely artificial data that was flowing on DEMO non-stop even on Sundays.
TWS DEMO prices are completely *artificial* and flowing slowly at constant pace. TWS DEMO does not represent actual market prices!
