   The documentation for this function specifies that any time value other than 5 will cause an exception, it doesn't. Although the function seems to default to 5 second bars regardless of the number given. Is this expected behavior?
   I'm on the latest download.

   Nix this question, I have read though the IB forums and found the answers I was looking for.

   Hey Craig,

   What did you find on the forums? You are correct that it doesn't throw an exception, but only works with 5 minute bars...

   Hey Karl,
   I don't think I understood the actual intent of RequestRealTimeBars, like most people who see it for the first time I thought 'only 5 seconds! thats useless', but after reading though a couple of threads I now understand it is used to construct candles without missing any highs or lows which may get filtered out of the 'real time' data.
