MBTrading Historical Data Notice

[mrlogik]

Hi NT,

I'm not sure if you received this information, but I received an email from the mbsdk network stating and update that fixes some historical data problems.

As discovered by several developers, a problem has been found in submitting and retrieving correct times, mainly in minute bars. This has been fixed. You can redownload the updated version 11.4.0.2 release candidate here:

http://mbtrading.com/waters/mbtnavigator11.4.0.2_rc.exe

Entering a beginning and ending UTC date/time of...

12/1/09 15:00:00
12/1/09 15:59:00

...will now correctly return minute bars (Eastern time) starting with 12/1/09 10:59 and going down to 12/1/09 10:00 (assuming you have requested at least 60 records). SendRequest *always* requires UTC, and *always* returns Eastern Time (-5 hours).

Remember that if your computer's date/time regional settings are in a format other than M/d/yyyy (e.g. d/M/yyyy or yyyy/M/d) , you'll need to use that same system date format for any strings that you parse when converting to the corresponding date data type required by SendRequest.

If you're curious about your computer's date format:

Win XP: Control Panel / Regional and Language Options / Customize / Date tab / Short date format

Vista: Control Panel / Regional and Language options / Customize this format / Date tab / Short date

Win 7: Control Panel / Region and Language / Short dat

Thanks
