Hooks1.RequestHistory("MRVC",'D",btDAYS,30,-1 ,-1);

[avishai]

Hi,

I have been trying to use the API to get history for a stock
I am calling
Hooks1.RequestHistory("MSFT",'D",btDAYS,30,-1 ,-1);

and it seems to return 30 bars but all except the first are zero

25.88,25.92,25.73,25.74,64489920
0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0
...

I do set the events and they are being called.

I have tried the same call from both
.Net
delphi

and I am getting the same results.

Any ideas?
is there something that I did not activate with the subscription? (I did purchased the API)
is there something has changed in the API and I just don't know where to find the new docs?

thanks
Avishai

My guess is you are calling GetBar using positive indices (e.g. GetBar(handle, 0), GetBar(handle, 1), GetBar(handle, 2)). If that is the case, use negative numbers as eSignal uses them to denote history (e.g. GetBar(handle, 0), GetBar(handle, -1), GetBar(handle, -2)).

Cheers... George
