BarsRequest and Data differences.

[JimmyJones]

I'm building an Addon that will analyze the previous 30 days bar data. Here is a snippet of my code:

===
DateTime toDate = DateTime.Now;
DateTime fromDate = toDate.AddDays(-30);
var barsRequest = new BarsRequest(Instrument, fromDate, toDate);
barsRequest.BarsPeriod = new BarsPeriod {
BarsPeriodType = BarsPeriodType.Minute,
Value = 30,
};

barsRequest.TradingHours = TradingHours.Get("CME US Index Futures RTH");

barsRequest.Request(....
===

I've noticed that the results of that request can return inaccurate and missing bars. If I setup a chart with a matching dataseries and run reload historical data on that chart, the next BarsRequest in the addon returns accurate bars. Is there a way to handle this from the addon so I do not have to reload historical data from a chart?

Thanks
Jimmy

Hello Jimmy,

Thank you for your note.

There is a ReloadAllHistoricalData() method, however you would need a chart open set to the same instrument and bar type and number of days to load.

Thanks. I was hoping to avoid that.
This is a once a day thing for me, so I'm guessing I probably should just restart ninja daily with the Cache and History cleared.
