Q Link 1min bar history

[oliverhansen]

I have downloaded QLink about 1 month ago and am using it intraday with 1min and 8 min bars in "session" mode (09:30-16:00). I need about a history of 200 rows (bars). That means I need also the bars of the prior day(s). This does usually (I´m not shure it never worked) not work.

For instance it is now 11:08 03-11-08 (QLink time) and the 1 minute bars go only back until 09:30 03-11-08 (today). The 8 minute bars go back until 12:18 03-10-08. In short: I don´t get all my 200 rows filled with (OHLCV) data in session mode.

What needs to be done so that I can have a history of 200 bars into the past in session mode?

Oliver,

We are aware of this bug, and will have it fixed. One workaround is to close QLink and the Data Manager, then make the request again through Excel. This will ask you to launch QLink.exe and should fulfill the request.
