Sometimes MarketData.GetBars hangs forever
20 Dec 2023, 07:42

Hi,

I've noticed that time to time MarketData.GetBars just hangs and never returns for some symbols.

For example, today it's happening with MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Daily, "American_Express_(AXP.N)");

Is there a way to set a timeout for the GetBars excution? I understand that sometimes data might not be available but I don't want my code to lock forever waiting for a response.

Broker: Perpperstone

Ok, found GetBarsAsync. Just wondering why did you guys decide to implement it with callbacks rather than proper Task Async methods?

Hm, actually

Action<Bars> callback = o =>{        Bars result = o;    Print("Market Bars found");};
MarketData.GetBarsAsync(TimeFrame.Daily, "American_Express_(AXP.N)", callback);

also hangs forever and never moves past the GetBarsAsync line.

Any suggestions how to avoid it?

Hi there,

Can you share the complete cBot code as well as the broker, so that we can reproduce and investigate?

Best regards,

cTrader restart fixed the issue. Are there cTrader internal logs that I could share with you when it happens in the future?
