Historical Trendbars
14 Nov 2020, 00:42

Hi, 

I'm trying to retrieve historical trendbars for the last 3 years on the H1 timeframe.  For each request I don't exceed 34 weeks between fromTime and toTime. however, the API only returns data starting from April 2020.

Is there no way to retrieve data beyond that?

Example:

From: Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 PST 2017
To: Sun Aug 27 00:00:00 PDT 2017

It looks like it's broker-specific behaviour.  Using the cTrader demo account, I was able to retrieve historical bars.  Can someone confirm this?

Hi George, 

Indeed, you need to check the availability of historical data with the broker.
