To debug, put a break point at line 103 of ibtws/getdata, which can be found by using "edit". The particular line is as follows:
switch varargin{9}.tickType
Get the output of "varargin{9}".
The field in "varargin{9}" is named "Price" (capital P) while the cases in "getdata" use "price" (lowercase p). This is the cause of the error.
As a workaround, copy the "getdata" file and change the field name to match the returned structure., then use the modified version instead of the normal "getdata".
