The Bar Close Bid & Ask
Last updated
Last updated
Bars in the IDE have both the Bid and Ask price attached the bar-close. If non-IDE data is used both prices will be 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 our during backtesting, especially when Combined Bars is used.
