I have developed custom charting software that is using the RequestHistory function to return real time data per minute . I have been testing and have noticed that occasionally I will get a update to a bar that is for several minutes ago.
So for example, I will receive a update for a bar for 3 minutes ago. The problem is that I have already made the determination to enter or close a position based on data I had available at the time.
Has anyone else seen this? I can use the time and sales functions to create bar data if that is a more reliable method.
Thanks
