how many symbols??

Hi,

How many symobls can one get via the API?


thanks.

Santos,

Having the API doesn't change the symbol limit within eSignal. It is the Data Manger that controls the symbol count, eSignal gets its data from the Data Manager, and the Desktop API gets its data from eSignal. So essentially, it just depends on what your eSignal symbol limit is, and that varies based on your eSignal subscription level. If you are a current subscriber and you have any questions about the symbol limit on your account, I would suggest using LiveRep to chat with one of our service representatives.

Symbol limit

But it would seem to me that one could simply release the symbol so that the data manager symbol count isn't overloaded. Is that correct?

[JayF]

That is correct. Once a symbol is released it will be removed from the symbol count assuming of course that it isn't being used by another application.
