I have been trying to find a way to trigger an Intraday Data Request for a symbol other than the current chart. I have tried: sc.GetSymbolDataValue(ValueToReturn, Symbol, 1, 0); This triggers the 'Starting real-time market data updates for: Symbol' but it does not add the historical Intraday data request for Symbol. For my purposes I need the intraday historical data, I just don't need the chart itself. I have confirmed that I can use sc.DataFile to achieve this, but again it needs a chart to run on - so it's not the solution I really want. A way to programmatically access the Intraday File Update List and add/remove a symbol would be the ideal solution, but I think that's a non starter. Is there anything I have missed in the ACSIL documentation that would do what I am looking for? As an aside: using Toggle Dark Mode on the new support board message page clears everything written - so that was fun to find out. |

No, you can only use this function: sc.StartDownloadHistoricalData(const SCDateTime& StartingDateTime); As an aside: using Toggle Dark Mode on the new support board message page clears everything written - so that was fun to find out.
