    Bars created from broker real-time data feed differ from bars created from eSignal

    What a strange thread in this Forum, anyway... 90% of the posters apparently misunderstood your question. You are trying to be a better programmer in EL, there is no need to learn C or C++ for that, Haskel and so forth. You just need some basic programming skills and for that purpose...
