The Bar Close Bid & Ask

  • Bars in the IDE have both the Bid and Ask price attached to the bar-close. If non-IDE data is used both prices will be the same.

  • The IDE will automatically use the corresponding price during all types of back- and forward testing.

  • This means a test result will be accurate and reproducible using time frame and MR bars.

  • Tick data is thereby not needed during live trading or during backtesting, especially when combined bars is used.
