esignal.RequestSymbol sym, False still create real time

[sbargay]

Hi,

I am using the following code to get current close:

esignal.RequestSymbol sym, False

and then use the event to extract the data.

But -- altough I am using the FALSE flag, which should give me only a snapshot, I still get realtime quotes sometimes.

Is it a know bug? or something I did wrong?

Currently, even if I use the ReleaseSymbol I still sometimes get realtime quotes.

The snapshot function should work as expected. However, if you have the same symbol you snapshotted in your eSignal layout (i.e. quote window), your application would still receive real-time streaming updates. Try removing that symbol from your eSignal application / DataManager, the snapshot request should work.

Hi

I guess you are right! THANKS!

So unless I can remove them from my eSignal quote window I should:

1. Use the gethistory instead of RequestSymbol
or
2. Use the event to distribute the data into my data structures assuming I will get some events fired without me specifically asking (through VB).
