This sample demonstrates methods for requesting and processing tick or minute bars. Please see the History sample for daily or greater interval bars. There is a link to download the sample at the end of this article.
Before you run the sample, you need to have the following:
- Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.8 or higher
- A current ICE Data Services client account. If you do not yet have an account, click here to find out about setting up a trial.
To run the sample executable jar from a command line, go to the folder in which you unzipped the sample (see attachment below) and enter the following command:
Windows
> java -cp .;JStandardSamples.jar;lib/* TickHistoryManager.TickHistorySample.Main
[-h <host>] -u <username> -p <password>
[-b <beginDate> -e <endDate> -i <interval> -s <symbols>]
[-o <options>]
Linux
$ java -cp .:JStandardSamples.jar:lib/* TickHistoryManager.TickHistorySample.Main
[-h <host>] -u <username> -p <password>
[-b <beginDate> -e <endDate> -i <interval> -s <symbols>]
[-o <options>]
where:
| Argument | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -h | <host> | is the address to use to connect to the ICE Data Services Consolidated Feed Network. |
| -u | <username> | is the username for your client (required field) |
| -p | <password> | is the password for your client (required field) |
| -b | <beginDate> | is the start date for the record set. Date format is "YYYY/mm/dd hh:mm:ss" |
| -e | <endDate> | is the end date for the record set. Date format is "YYYY/mm/dd hh:mm:ss" |
| -i | <interval> | Specifies the interval for the request. Takes an int where: 0 = Tick Greater than 0 = minute intervals (e.g. 1 = 1-minute bars, 5 = 5-minute bars, etc.) |
| -s | <symbols> | is the symbol, or symbols, to use for making the historical request. A single instrument may be entered, or a comma separated list of symbols. Symbols that include a space must be enclosed in quotes. Multiple symbols must be separated by commas with no spaces. If one of the symbols contains a space, the entire list must be enclosed in quotes. |
| -o | <options> | is one or more options supported by this sample. For a complete list of options, run the sample without a username or password. This will display the online help for the sample and provide a list of available options. |
Note: <username> and <password> must be entered at the command line, but the other arguments are optional. If you do not provide a value for an argument the sample will use a default value.
