You can use the LastCalcDate function to find the date on the last bar but that will not let you access the data.
To do that you will need a special DLL that allows you to look at all data.
There is one on the TradeStation support site written by someone called "bamboo".
There is also a commercially available package made by Avicom, Inc.
Alternately, you could simply add inputs to your system and manually insert the values prior to optimization.
