Esginal 80 GetHistory no longer get current day Real time quote

[redmike]

with ES78, every time a trade happend, GetHistory() will fire a onBarChanged event, after I updagrade to ES80, I can no longer get onBarsChanged event, quite strange. I did recompile my code with the new type library file, still no luck.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi redmike,

Does ES80 refer to eSignal 8.0? If so, we'll run our sample against that version inhouse and see if we can replicate your issue.

Yes, ES80 refer to ESignal version 8.0.
I tried symbol PD=N, it just could not get the current day bar in market hours.

Could you post your requestHistory code fragment.

I'm not sure if this would help, but
If I remember correctly, within the last few versions I had to change

// not sure of the syntax
requestHistory(symbol, bartype, numbars, -1, -1)

to

requestHistory(symbol, bartype, numbars, 0, 0)

or something similar

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

The code basiclly is taken out from C++ examples.
It requestHistory for 15 minutes bars and for ONE day.
The symbol is PD=N.

I usually started up my program after market open.
Yesterday I started it around 6:20 (pacific time).
ALl of the sudden there is no quote comes in.

Today I started it 6:10, same problem, but I restarted it 6:50.
Lo and behold, everything back to normal.

Well ,any explanation will be highly appreciated.

If you are looking for updates before the market, then LTANESIGNAL is correct. You need to change the parameters fo your request from -1, -1 to 0,0. -1, -1 requests data from the official open to the official close. 0,0 gives you 24 hour updates.
