one minute bars unable to stay current

[dospalabras]

The eSignal ActiveX API seems to not be able to keep up to current time. The following are logs of a request for three one minute bars for MSFT. OnBarsChanged gets called frequently but the logs only display the bars once per minute. After about 9 minutes, the bars are 5 minutes out-of-date. This is the only request that was made and the cpu was not busy. Is this a known problem?

Not that this helps you, but I run my app all day long and it never falls behind. I have about 20 RequestHistory handles open (all futures). Shouldn't you be getting more OnBarsReceived events though? Or are you just not logging the rest? You should, I believe, get one for each new bar.

Cheers... George
