Ask, Ask Size, Bid, Bid Size fields

Postby jankowski marek » 20 Apr 2008

Quote Manager allows to collect Ask/Bid fields. If I decide to collect Ask/Bid fields for the tick data, is any way I can access this information in backtesting?

Hi Marek,

If you want to base your backtesting on ask or bid, just choose the respective fields when plotting a data series - in Format Symbol -> Settings -> QuoteField

I understand. Also will be nice if I can access Bid, Ask in backtesting by keywords (like CurrentBid, Current Ask instead defaulting to Close) if Ask, Bid information is available in database.

I'm not sure why you mimic TS limitiation in this matter. TS database doesn't have Bid, Ask fields available and this is only reason why they defaulting CurrentBid/CurrentASk to Close filed.
