For EUR/USD daily charts, I can get data back to March 9, 2009 in OEC Trader using the Load More Data method in the chart rt. click menu.

When I try to request all daily data for EUR/USD via the api, I get back 338 bars for my first request, back to 3/7/2016. Then I make another request to get more daily bars from 1900 to 3/7/2016. I don't get any more bars back.

How can I get all the available daily data for EUR/USD?

These are what my requests look like:

OECAPICOM::IContractPtr con = OECAPI()->Contracts->Item("EUR/USD");
COleDateTime from = 12/31/1899 11:55:00 PM;
COleDateTime to = 6/22/2017 12:18:00 AM;
OECAPI()->RequestBars(con,from.m_dt,to.m_dt,OECAPICOM::SubscriptionType_Bar,1440);
I get 338 daily bars back for this request to 3/7/2016.

OECAPICOM::IContractPtr con = OECAPI()->Contracts->Item("EUR/USD");
COleDateTime from = 12/31/1899 11:55:00 PM;
COleDateTime to = 3/7/2016 10:00:00 PM;
OECAPI()->RequestBars(con,from.m_dt,to.m_dt,OECAPICOM::SubscriptionType_Bar,1440);
I get 0 daily bars back here.

Can you help me to get the EUR/USD daily data back to 2009 as is available in OEC Trader?

Thanks,

In this case, it is probably better to use the RequestBars(IContract contract, IDuration duration, IBarDescription description) version of RequestBars.

Hi Jason, that worked perfectly well.

Thanks
