One more interesting bug:
When trying to download IB historical with fromdate older than the stock start date.
I.e. RWGV first trading day start with 18 Jan 2019 and i tried to use following code:data = ibstore.getdata(dataname='RWGV', currency='USD', exchange='ARCA', historical=True, timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Days, fromdate=datetime.datetime(2016, 5, 1), todate=datetime.datetime(2019,6, 1))This code will have no data downloaded instead download data from 18 Jan - 1 Jun 2019.

ppreciate if you can take a look below, thanks!
Actually the code there could fail in some other lines for those downloads. All dates should be checked against an actual calendar implementation. Too much for the current state.

Don't download data before the start of the actual trading start.
