I have set reqMarketDataType(MarketDataType.DELAYED). But then I am getting

"Requested market data is not subscribed"

error while fetching delayed data. 

// API Version 9.72 and later Launch EReader Thread
    m_reader = new EReader(client, m_signal);
    m_reader.start();
    new Thread() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            processMessages();
        }
    }.start();

    Contract contract = new Contract();
    contract.symbol("GOOG");
    contract.exchange("SMART");
    contract.secType("STK");
    contract.currency("USD");

    // Create a TagValue list
    Vector<TagValue> mktDataOptions = new Vector<>();
    // Make a call to start off data retrieval
    client.reqMarketDataType(MarketDataType.DELAYED);
    client.reqMktData(1001, contract, null, false, mktDataOptions);

}

    Are you sure that setting the data type as delayed allows to request data from markets you didn't subscribe? I'm just speculating, but I would imagine that you always have to subscribe to the exchange where the symbol is, by logging in to Account Management. – SantiBailors Jan 05 '18 at 06:08
