Current Ask and Bid in the backtester

Postby curiousMan » 12 Jan 2015

Hello,

I have some questions:

1. Is it correct that in a Signal script (for the back-tester and live trading)

this.Bars.CloseValue == this.Bars.Close[0];

2. The same concerns Ticks: is it correct that

this.Bars.TicksValue == this.Bars.Ticks[0];

3. Why this.Bars.TicksValue returns 0.0 for historical data ( in the back-tester)? IOGMode is enable, Use bar magnifier is On (tick);

4. Can I use this.Bars.CloseValue as the current price in the back-tester and for live ticks?

5. How can I get current Ask and Bid in the back-tester? (Maybe there is a place where I can get a current spread?)

Thanks a lot.

Hello curiousMan,

Let me answer your questions in order:
1. Yes;
2. Yes;
3. Please try using TrueVolume;
4. Yes;
5. the easiest solution is adding ask and bid data series as data2 and data3 and accessing them from the code using BarsOfData(2).Close;
