what is more dominent the number of bars or the the start time and the end time

because from what i see there is no relation ship between the number of bars and the time


the start time and end time never work

for example

handler= (*m_piHooks)->GetRequestHistory("EUR A0-FX","60",btBARS,50,570,960);

The behavior of the request:

handler= (*m_piHooks)->GetRequestHistory("EUR A0-FX","60",btBARS,50,570,900);

is correct. It is asking for 50 bars with 1 hour length from NOW.
between the hour of 9:30 to 3:00 for each day we traced back.

Here is the output:

EUR A0-FX 11/2/2005 9:30:00 AM:
EUR A0-FX 11/2/2005 10:30:00 AM:
EUR A0-FX 11/2/2005 11:30:00 AM:
EUR A0-FX 11/2/2005 12:30:00 PM:
EUR A0-FX 11/2/2005 1:30:00 PM:
EUR A0-FX 11/2/2005 2:30:00 PM:
EUR A0-FX 11/3/2005 9:30:00 AM:

if you do:
handler= (*m_piHooks)->GetRequestHistory("EUR A0-FX","60",btBARS,50,570,960);

Here is the output:

...
EUR A0-FX 11/2/2005 9:30:00 AM:
EUR A0-FX 11/2/2005 10:30:00 AM:
EUR A0-FX 11/2/2005 11:30:00 AM:
EUR A0-FX 11/2/2005 12:30:00 PM:
EUR A0-FX 11/2/2005 1:30:00 PM:
EUR A0-FX 11/2/2005 2:30:00 PM:
EUR A0-FX 11/2/2005 3:30:00 PM:
EUR A0-FX 11/3/2005 9:30:00 AM:

However, for hourly bar starting from NOW tracing back to yesteday, you will have to do:

handler= (*m_piHooks)->GetRequestHistory("EUR A0-FX","60",btDAYS,2,-1,-1);
