same day and historical intraday prices

[Courvoisier13]

Description

I've posted on stack this issue 2 weeks ago: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66603261/ibrokers-r-api-and-same-day-intraday-prices

I am using reqHistoricalData to get 1 minutes intraday historical data. The market is open and I am not getting the same day's data. I only get previous trading day's data.

Is it possible to get the same day intraday bar data?

Expected behavior

I am expecting bars for the same day

Minimal, reproducible example

here is the code I am using, it only gives data for the previous day, not same day.

library(tidyverse)
library(IBrokers)
tws = twsConnect()
contract <- twsEquity('VOD','SMART')
VOD_intraday = IBrokers::reqHistoricalData(tws, Contract = contract, barSize = "1 min", duration = "1 D")
VOD_intraday %>% as.data.frame() %>% rownames_to_column(var = "time") %>% arrange(desc(time)) %>% head()

It's 10:28 GMT on 2021-03-29 and London is open. And here is the response - it only gives data from 2020-03-26:

> contract <- twsEquity('VOD','SMART')
> VOD_intraday = IBrokers::reqHistoricalData(tws, Contract = contract, barSize = "1 min", duration = "1 D")
waiting for TWS reply on VOD .... done.
> VOD_intraday %>% as.data.frame() %>% rownames_to_column(var = "time") %>% arrange(desc(time)) %>% head()

Instead of VOD, you can use SPY, MSFT or any US security while the US market is open
