Hi there,

You would need to get all the bars from the server and check the high/low. Try M1 to save time.

Hi Panagiotis,

How can that be achieved programmatically?

Symbol.AllTimeHigh would be straight forward but I believe there is no such property available. So, what can be a work around here?

Thank you.

Hi ncel01,

You can load all the bars by using Bars.LoadMoreHistory(). Then you can use Bars.HighPrices.Maximum(Bars.Count) and Bars.LowPrices.Minimum(Bars.Count) to get the respective high and low.

Bars.LoadMoreHistory() does not seem to change anything, no matter the time frame.
On the other hand, it looks like max/min historical prices are only caught when using monthly bars : 

var bars = MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Monthly);
var maxHistorical = bars.HighPrices.Maximum(bars.Count);
var minHistorical = bars.LowPrices.Minimum(bars.Count));

Hi there,

Note that Bars.LoadMoreHistory() currently works only in real time execution and you need to call it until it returns 0, so that all bars have been loaded.

Right. I was testing it in real time but I was not aware that multiple calls would be (maybe) needed.

However, it looks like for shorter time frames it is not possible go as far back in time, even when all bars are loaded (Bars.LoadMoreHistory() = 0), leading to different results.

Hi ncel01,

It always depends on how much data is available by your broker.
