Fields to collect? bid/ask grey out

Postby tpredictor » 21 Apr 2021

I have tried to turn on bid/ask collection from TS. I get the top bid/ask in the watch. But, when I try to turn on "fields to collect" -- for bid/ask in quote manager those options are greyed out.

How do I collect the bid/ask from TS data? Is the bid/ask data collected per tick snapshot or per orderbook change?

Hello tpredictor,

In MultiCharts only Trade quote field is provided by TS.

@Kate Thanks but I can see the "bid/ask" size top level in the scanner. I'm guessing that's a different data that cannot be combined with the trade data? For recording bid/ask at trade, you need it recorded with the trade I'm assuming. Thanks.

tpredictor,

Ask and Bid are only available as a status line, which is a separate data stream provided through a different channel.
Ask and Bid as quotes are not provided by TS.
