I am working with the latest version of OEC COM API 3.5 that was released on Friday 5.10.13.

In OnContractsChanged, the first contract for a given base symbol has a name with an "@" in front of the base symbol. This is different than the older version. Is that intentional? It's fine, we can work with it either way, we just wanted to make sure something is not wrong with either our side or your side.

Here's the code that reveals this change:


_stdcall apiOEC::OnContractsChanged(LPDISPATCH/*IBaseContract*/bc)
{
OECAPICOM::IBaseContractPtr BaseContract = bc;
OECAPICOM::IContractListPtr contracts = BaseContract->GetContracts();
for(int i=0; i < contracts->Count; ++i) {
OECAPICOM::IContractPtr con = contracts->ItemByIndex(i);
std::string sym = con->Symbol;
if(sym.front() != '@')
//do something
}
}

Thanks,

Now OECAPI provides continuous contracts too.
