could you please consider including a getBars(...) with filter and from/to times:

getBars(Instrument instrument, Period period, OfferSide side, Filter filter, long from, long to);


Thanks a lot,
RR.

Hi,

this topic has been moved to finished issues.
Will it get included in one of the next versions?
At the moment in order to get filtered bars within a specified period in time, one has to work with the start time of the end bar and the estimated number of bars for a shift back in time and then loop through the return list to get the bar that is >= the start time, one is looking for.
It would be very beneficial, if you could include a timefrom/timeto version of a filtered getBars.

Could you please let me know your plans?
Thanks, RR.

Post subject:  gettimeForNBarsBack() / getTimeForNBarsForward()
the getBars() API is not orthogonal it seems...

these 2 methods should also accept a Filter specifier. Otherwise one can not fetch the appropriate number of (filtered) bars, given a start time.

Example:
I need to fetch all bars between a certain point past in time (an order open for example) and now. I want to filter out all flats.
getBars() with filter specifier requires a number of candles, not "from" and "to" time specifiers. Since the bars are filtered, I can not know beforehand how many candles there are effectively between two points in time.

Alternatively to gettimeForNBarsBack() / getTimeForNBarsForward() also taking a filter specifier; a version of getBars() taking filter and "from" - "to" time would allow to do what is needed here.
