Is the Market Closed?

[cyberwolf]

Hi there

Can anyone help me - I am trying to get the end of day bars for the us stocks when the market has closed.

Does anyone know of a way to determine if the market has closed or simulate the getbarstate() function from within Esignal.

Many Thanks

I am assuming that you are using the RequestHistory function.
By setting start_time and end_time to 0, you will be getting bars in a 24 hour period. This way, you can determine which bar is last prior to closing. You can also take a look at how onBarsChanged and onBarsReceived events are processed in the documentation.

Thanks for the comments - The problem is I am trying to determine if the market has closed, I know which is the last bar - but I do not know whether it is completed or still being updated.

Other than the time of request - is there any other way to determine this - and at what time are the bars fixed and all amendments etc completed for US Stocks.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to determine this. The bar itself does not have this property in the Desktop API.
