Bug in eSignal Advanced Get chart

[wscully]

I attempted to report an eSignal bug via the Technical Support phone support but was told that Advanced Get chart defects have to be reported via the forum. I have written a VB.NET program that has, up to now, used the eSignal Desktop API without difficulty. Recently I added a Request History function. I make a discrete history request for 60 daily bars of data for stocks that are in a list. If, at the time of the hostory request, there is a daily interval .ACH chart open in eSignal each RequestHistory call results in an additional daily bar beinginserted in the open .ACH chart. For example, If my program requests daily history on 6 stocks, 6 bars for today will be inserted in the open eSignal chart. The stock symbol in the open chart seems to be unrelated to the stock cited in the Request History call. If teh open .ACH chart is for an interval other than Daily, no bars are inserted. Is there a fix or circumvention for this problem>

You mentioned Advanced GET, but it looks like you may be using the eSignal application. Can you clarify whether or not you are using the Advanced GET application, or an Advanced Get study on an eSignal chart?

Thanks,

I am using eSignal and ACH charts (which I thought was part of Advanced Get). The chart has a number of studies on it, including Elliot and XTL. The chart works fine until my application requests history for stocks cia the Desktop API.

I found a way to stop the erroneous updating of the ACH charts: I removed ClearSymbolCache() from my program. With this call in, the error occurs, without the call - no error.

Where do you make the call to ClearSymbolCache() ? Do you
do this prior to requesting history data every time? What is your purpose of making this call in the first place?
