                                     InstrumentType.Futures,

                                     MarketDataType.All,

    int barSize = 1;

    

    IVMinuteBarDataSeries barDataSeries = GetMinuteBarDataSeries(_iv,

                                      IVBarType.LTP, barSize,

                                      DateTime.Today.AddDays(-5),

                                      out errorString);

    

    _barDataSeries.OnBarCompleted += IVOnBarCompleted;

    

    private void F1Buy_ IVOnBarCompleted (IBarData barData)

    {

      TraceLogInfo(string.Format("Bar Completed : [{0}|{1}|{2}|{3}]",

                                   barData.BarOpen,

                                   barData.BarHigh,

                                   barData.BarLow,
