batch export of historical data

[lorn]

Thanks for the quick reply Robi. One more quick question about this. When the time and sales in the advanced charts prints a green or red colored trade signifying a trade at the bid or ask, is it referencing those flags... or is it comparing the last trade with the last quoted price within software.

Thanks again.

It's using flags, but not exactly the same ones in the Desktop API (different data structure). I think the TimeSalesFlags are what you are looking for.

Yes, I was looking for the exchange generated flags, which I now know are available through the Desktop API. I was just curious if the different flag sources for the advanced charts were exchange generated as well?

Thanks

Thanks Chris, I had already looked through that thread. It was unclear wether you guys were discussing the API or the actual window. You made reference tho the API, and Robi to the window... so I wasn't sure.

Robi when you say different data structure, are you just talking about the way you get it from the exchange, or the way it's presented? I'm just tryiing to verify if what I'm looking at in a T&S window (green at ask, red at bid) will be the same as when it's pulled from the API.

Hope that's clear.

Thanks
Lorn

No, the structure that eSignal uses is more complicated than the one in the Desktop API - that's all. What you get in the API is the same as what you SEE in eSignal (which is what we recieve from the exchanges), if that answers your question.

Yes, perfectly... thank you.
